[SFDXA] Romeo and P5RS7

[DON MURRAY]

Bill...

He did a bit of "hard time." 

Last seen he was in a W6 jail.

He may have been released.

A real "operator" in more ways than one!

 Yup thanks Don...I remember they banned Romeo. He was a crook and so were his friends and wife too hi.
 
 But the pileups were real and big...

I should have added that P5 was officially added to the ARRL DXCC list 6 JUL 1995.

   Romeo's. P5RS7 operation, DEC 1992, was NOT from No. Korea.  
  The North Korean government was not authorizing amateur radio at that time. 
  A DX Bulletin from ARRL posted 21 FEB 1996, ARLD011, was from the ARRL Awards Committee   
  The committee having reviewed submitted documentation of the 1992 - 1993 P5RS7 operation  submitted by Romeo Stepanenko, voted unanimously to disqualify Romeo Stepanenko from  participation in the DXCC program. 
  The entire bulletin is viewable here.   http://www.arrl.org/w1aw-bulletins-archive/ARLD011/1996 
  OK1DTG/P5 appeared to have operated from North Korea 12 - 24 April, 1992 making 600 QSOs
  on 40m CW, but he was not able to provide documentation. 
  The FIRST legal operation from North Korea was P5/OH2AM on May 14 1995. 20 QSO were made, during an amateur radio demonstration to North Korean officials. 
  After review of the P5/OH2AM documentation, North Korea (P5) was added to the DXCC list. Only contacts made 14 May 1995 or after, count for this entity.
