STATEMENT


Mr.  Dominik  Tomasz  Grzyb,  a  polish  national,  radio  amateur 
operator  with  identification
3Z9DX, has been recently claiming to the radio amateur community and 
media-related sites that he
has been officially authorized to operate from the Democratic People’s 
Republic of Korea.

Example of claims and pictures:  http://dxnews.com/p5-3z9dx-dprk/

I have been requested by several radio amateur members in Europe to 
verify if such claim was true.

Following  the  request,  our  Committee  for  Cultural  Relations with  
Foreign  Countries  have
initiated  an investigation  involving  all ministries  involved and 
required  for being allowed
to operate radio inside the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

The investigation regarding Mr. Dominik Tomasz Grzyb was concluded today 
as follows:

1-
He has never requested, formally or un-informally, any authorization to 
the Ministry of
Communications of the DPR of Korea or any other relevant Ministry to 
operate radio communications
inside the country.

2-
He has never received authorization of any kind to operate radio 
communications inside DPRK
territory.

3-
He  visited  the  DPR  of  Korea  as  a  normal  polish  tourist and  
stayed  in  Koryo  Hotel
from
December 17th until December 19th 2015.

4-
He never brought with himself any radio equipment inside or outside the 
DPR of Korea.

5-
He introduced himself to his DPRK tourist interpreter, Ms. Ri Song Hwa, 
that he is working as a
coach for the Polish Olympic Rowing team.

6-
He left Koryo hotel on December 19th and took the train to leave the 
country at 10:40 a.m. on the
same morning. Meaning he crossed the DPRK border with China in the 
evening (around 19 o'clock) of
December 19th.

This  means  it  is  not  possible  that  he  could  transmit  from 
DPRK  territory  on  20th   or
  21st December 2015, even if the equipment was brought as a diplomatic 
pouch and he transmitted
illegally and without permission.
