ARLD026 Montenegro is newest ARRL DXCC entity

A new ARRL DXCC entity has come into being! As expected, the
United
Nations admitted the Republic of Montenegro as its 192nd member
June
28, and that action automatically makes the tiny Balkan nation
the
336th current DXCC entity.

"According to the ARRL DXCC List criteria, entities on the UN
list
of member-states qualify as political entities," said ARRL
Membership Services Manager Wayne Mills, N7NG. "Therefore,
effective
June 28, 2006 (UTC), ARRL has added The Republic of Montenegro
to
the DXCC List. Claims for DXCC credit will be accepted
immediately."

Current Montenegrin radio amateurs reportedly may continue using
their YU/YT/YZ/4O/4N-prefix call signs until the International
Telecommunication Union designates a new call sign block for the
new
country.

In anticipation of Montenegro's new nation status, the
International
DX Festival Montenegro, with information on the web at,
http://www.yu6scg.cg.yu/international-dx-festival.html, has been
set
for July 20 until August 12. That's when several international
operators will join forces with Montenegrin Amateur Radio
operators
from at least three different stations using a common call sign
in
an effort to meet the DX community's need to work the newest
DXCC
Entity.  Festival organizers have set the ambitious goal of
200,000
contacts for the event, which will use all HF bands.

Montenegro declared its independence on June 3 following a
national
referendum May 21.
