Yesterday's big news was that of the new country Montenegro. Many
have asked what will be the new prefix. YT6A, Ranko, reports that
Montenegrin authorities will be submitting an application for a prefix
for the fledgling nation. Several Montenegrin Amateur Radio operators
are hoping (stress hoping) for the Z7 (Zulu Seven) prefix. Your
editor is watching the ITU news and is in daily contact with several
Montenegrin Amateur Radio operators. DXers have been asking how to
tell which stations are currently operating from Montenegro. Stations
using the following prefixes are located in the new country: 4O3, 4O6,
YT3, YT6, YU3, YU6, YZ3 and YZ6. All of these will count for DXCC
starting June 28, 2006. Between now and July 20th do not expect a lot
of activity. However mark you calendars between July 20th and August
12th for the Montenegro 2006 International DX Festival. More
information on that can be found on The Daily DX home page
(www.dailydx.com). For those running logging software here are some
more details you may want to put into your program.
