I wonder if anyone else about heard this
?
From what I can tell the local hams on St Barts
aren't very happy that Martti Lane showed up on their island to do the first
operation as a new DXCC country.
It sounds like Phil, FJ5DX, and the RADIO-CLUB Association des
Radio-amateurs de St Barthelemy did all the footwork to get FJ added as a new
country. They wanted to have a ceromony with the first QSO's being made by the
locals. They
don't feel like the Finn's should of just showed up on the island without
first
coordinating their efforts with that of the local
radio association. Hopefully
this will not jeopardize future operations by
those who might want to visit FJ.
The callsign of the RADIO-CLUB Association des Radio-amateurs de St Barthelemy is
FJ5KH.
