[CQ-Contest] "D1WW"

[Gerry Treas K8GT]

Actually it is known as Transnistria or Transdniester and it is located 
on the Eastern edge of Moldova between the Dniester River and the border 
between Moldova and Western Ukraine.  It actually predates the 
activities in Eastern Ukraine.

How have we as hams or contest sponsors handled similar situations in 
the past?
