[SFDXA] P5/3Z9DX a fake?

[The Romagni's]

I guess until the ARRL says something, we will not know if this was another
fake operation from P5 or not (having Romeo Flashbacks...)

Lets wait and see,.

“STATEMENT

Mr. Dominik Tomasz Grzyb, a polish national, radio amateur operator with
identification

3Z9DX, has been recently claiming to the radio amateur community and
media-related sites that

he has been officially authorized to operate from the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea.

Example of claims and pictures: http://dxnews.com/p5-3z9dx-dprk/


I have been requested by several radio amateur members in Europe to verify
if such claim wastrue.Following the request, our Committee for Cultural
Relations with Foreign Countries haveinitiated an investigation involving
all ministries involved and required for being allowed tooperate radio
inside the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.The investigation
regarding Mr. Dominik Tomasz Grzyb was concluded today as follows:1-He has
never requested, formally or un-informally, any authorization to the
Ministry ofCommunications of the DPR of Korea or any other relevant
Ministry to operate radiocommunications inside the country.2-He has never
received authorization of any kind to operate radio communications inside
DPRKterritory.

3-

He visited the DPR of Korea as a normal polish tourist and stayed in Koryo
Hotel from

December 17th until December 19th 2015.

4-

He never brought with himself any radio equipment inside or outside the DPR
of Korea.

5-

He introduced himself to his DPRK tourist interpreter, Ms. Ri Song Hwa,
that he is working as

a coach for the Polish Olympic Rowing team.

6-

He left Koryo hotel on December 19th and took the train to leave the
country at 10:40 a.m. on

the same morning. Meaning he crossed the DPRK border with China in the
evening (around 19

o’clock) of December 19th.

This means it is not possible that he could transmit from DPRK territory on
20th or 21st

December 2015, even if the equipment was brought as a diplomatic pouch and
he transmitted

illegally and without permission.
