To all,

Project Goodwill Kosova

By the YU8/OH2R Team

There have been some questions raised in the DX community about the
licenses of the current multi-national team currently active in
Kosova. The licenses were issued by "UNMIK, the United Nations
Mission In Kosovo," following their procedures. At this point in time
they were not prepared to change the issued call indicator.

The team is not active at all times as they are involved with
establishing Amateur Radio in the new Kosova. "Project Goodwill
Kosova" includes regulatory matters, licensing and exams as well as
promoting Amateur Radio, in its full meaning, to the society at large.
Additionally it includes revitalizing the existing Amateur Radio
society and helping them in a new beginning and with an application to
membership in the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU).

Apparently someone hacked into the QRZ.COM database and made a
political statement under the listing for OH2R. The team has taken
the position of not taking any side in the political debate.

We are aware of only one other station currently active on the Amateur
Radio bands from Kosova. That would be YU8/HB4FG.
