OT: What Country is 4N5Y? And Why Don't I Hear Any CW Signals?
Locked
 
|
Sorry to go off-topic, but I worked 4N5Y with QRP CW on 80 meters in the
CQWW DX Contest, and I'm confused as to his official DXCC country. QRZ.com lists his country as "Serbia and Montenegro," my logging program says just "Serbia," but the ARRL DXCC list ( http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/dxcclist.txt ) does not list "4N" at all. Please tell me how and where I can find his official country for DXCC purposes. Is it "Serbia," "Montenegro," or "Serbia and Montenegro"? By the way, it's 2300 UTC on Dec. 4 and I can't hear any CW signals on any band on my K2. What's up with that? Did we just get hit with a solar flare or something? I'm using an indoor dipole at a new QTH, and wondering whether it's working. Thanks and 73/72, Jeff WB5GWB Long Island, NY K2 #0821 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

The DXCC list and QRZ.com may not have caught up with the latest political
situation. It used to be one, but as of June 2006 these are separate and independent countries. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia_and_Montenegro for more information. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Sorry to go off-topic, but I worked 4N5Y with QRP CW on 80 meters in the > CQWW DX Contest, and I'm confused as to his official DXCC > country.

A separate prefix for Montenegro has not yet been assigned by the ITU. Until this occurs, 4N, 4O, YT, YU and YZ prefixes in areas 3 and 6 are Montenegro, while other numbers are Serbia, i.e., 4N5Y would be in Serbia. This counts the same as the old Serbia and Montenegro or even older Yugoslavia. Montenegro counts as a new country under DXCC rules. 73 - Bob, N7XY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

There is no S&M since June 28th. 4N5Y QTH is in Serbia. I was also confused - N1MM logger didn't recognize YT6T as Montenegro ( I downloaded the latest version just before the contest ). Don't worry, the score calculated by your logging program doesnt matter, when you send CABRILLO log. 73, Val LZ1VB K2 2745, q501 p866 c91 z26 t101322 20m QRP > Hi Jeff, > > 4N5Y is Serbia & Montenegro. > > 72 and Thanks, > Ron Polityka > WB3AAL > www.wb3aal.com > www.n3epa.org/ > > K1 - SN 01011 > K2 - SN 01392 > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jeff" <[hidden email]> > To: <[hidden email]> > Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 7:10 PM > Subject: [Elecraft] OT: What Country is 4N5Y?
