[RTTY] E4X Palestine Country Status

[Rick Ruhl]

1. As Prof Cass used to says, it's the DXCC list, it doesn't have to make
sense.

2. This call sign allocation meets the requirement of the current DXCC List
Criteria, Section 1(b).

3. Here's the info of how it's a new country from an old DX Bulletin

I appreciate the FB effort of the E4X team and the excellent Log Online
<http://www.dxfriends.com/e4x/log.php> that I think was designed and
maintained by Roberto, EA2RY.

I mentioned working Palestine as new RTTY country and my wife, who could
care less about DXCC counties, could not understand why Palestine is
considered different country than Israel?  She visited Bethlehem a few
months ago and she thought it was part of Israel. She never heard Palestine
mentioned as a different country.

Yes, I know E4 is an ARRL approved DXCC country for contacts made after
1-Feb-1999; however, I would appreciate clarification on why Palestine is
consider a separate county?

TNX again to the E4X team for very nice operation.
