[CQ-Contest] 4U1WB disqualified in the 2017 CQ World-Wide WPX SSB Contest

[Rudy Bakalov]

I'd argue that the issue is a lot more complicated than a DQ. The DQ fundamentally challenges how the UN is being treated for the purpose of CQ sponsored contests, or WPX in this case. IMHO this is not a simple decision that CQ can make on its own or make it AFTER the contest. CQ WPX is not challenging the integrity of the operator or the operation, but the authority of the UN to manage licenses for it's own stations and operators around the world. The fundamental assumption that the FCC has any authority over the UN is my mind is flawed and not based on the actual status of the UN with respect to US government laws, regulations, and regulators.
