[CQ-Contest] Question to the rules of WWDX contest

[Milt Jensen]

For the 1998 CQ WW CW, the relaxation of the rule due to foreign licensing
authority regulations was allowed for our operation at XZ1N from Yangon.  As
I recall, three of our operators wanted to participate as single band
entries, all with the expedition callsign.  Up to that point in time the
Myanmar government had not issued individual callsigns and the only
alternative was to use the single callsign.

They operated as such, submitted the logs as such, and I believe were listed
in the results as such; ie. single band entries with the same callsign.

At the time of our 2000 expedition to XZ0A, a group of the operators made a
trip to the capital, were issued individual callsigns, and operated with
those from Yangon.  It is now possible to request an individual callsign and
go to Myanmar for contest operations.  Through the efforts of the Central AZ
DX Assn. Myanmar has been opened to this level.  Further efforts are being
made to get Burmese nationals licensed and on the air.
