Topband: Fwd: ARRL DXCC - 160 Meters OK1YQ (OK1RD) Legitimacy???!!!

[n4is at n4is.com]

Hi Jeff

We have a similar problem with several "PY"  faking QSL, QSO and even LOTW confirmation by the DX operator. We've been reporting (we.. N4IS, PY2XB , PY2RO and PY5EG), documenting on paper, talking and meeting with ARRL officials including the DXCC desk for several years, and ARRL just don’t care! This is a sad growing problem.

Regards
JC
N4IS

FYI
There is a NEW EMAIL ADDRESS for the ARRL DXCC DESK - it is DXCCAdmin at arrl.org

Pls send your comments to this email address for investigation and possible action!
Thanks!

Hmmm again
Okay - now I remember this guy and his shenanigans from way back.  OK1RD (now masquerading as OK1YQ - which is a callsign that does not appear on qrz.com!) Guys - I would recommend that any of us that are really interested send an email to the ARRL DXCC desk and ask that this 160m DXCC OK1YQ listing be taken down - and that this fellow be prohibited from participating in the DXCC program going forward.
This is ridiculous and I agree - who is now running the DXCC desk?  Sure wish NN1N and some of the older, wiser DXCC managers were still around to police this kind of activity!
What utter nonsense!
