OK, so if I follow Terry's logic correctly for rule V.C.1 (see below), what
about the TO#* calls which are issued by France, but the DXCC entity can not be
determined? Let's take TO1A for example. Does this mean if someone signed
TO1A in a CQ contest from outside of France, they run the risk of being DQ'd?
For example:
TO1A versus:
FG/TO1AFH/TO1AFJ/TO1A
FK/TO1AFM/TO1AFO/TO1AFP/TO1A
FR/TO1AFW/TO1A
FY/TO1A
...or how about VK9AA? Can't tell what entity that's from. ...or how about
VK0 (Heard, Macquarie, or Antarctica?)...or how about 3Y (Bouvet or Peter 1st?
73,Fred, K9VV, um wait, I mean K9VV/KP2
