Topband: DXCC Committe

[Wes]

Based upon the supplied communications, it's unclear to me whether there was an 
actual application made along with the submitted card or not.  Jarda claims not, 
but based on the disqualification, if it followed its own rules, ARRL must have 
received one because...

The DXCC AWARD APPLICATION form states, "Required With Each New Submission and 
Endorsements"

If the "required" application/fees and affirmed signature weren't submitted, 
then he did not make an application and whether or not the card is bogus should 
not matter.

So there should be one of two outcomes:

1)  He submitted a signed application affirming that he followed all of the 
rules, but submitted a bogus card.  His removal is justified.

2)  He did not submit a signed application but only asked for an opinion about 
the card.  He should be reinstated.

Seems pretty simple to me.
