Unfortunatly Jeff wk6i is right - at least according to the ARRL-rules.
The ARRL tells us that 4U1VIC counts for OE.
Just wonder why 4U1ITU does NOT count for HB???
And why 4U1UN does not count for W ???
The Vienna International Center definatly is NOT part of OE. It is
exteritorial !!!!
So since it is NOT austrian territory - why should it count as OE ??? (Just
because a bunch of old mans = ARRL decided it that way ???) Ahh - to err is
human - so pse forgive me - ahh them ....
PSE Do us a favor:
If you want to get your DXCC send them a qsl-card from an OE-station NOT the
one from 4U1VIC to get your credit for OE.
PS: I also have operated from 4U1VIC in the early 90?s. (Till we had cleaned
up the bands - then it became boring since nobody else needed a qso ...)
That?s all for now
