Topband: DXCC Committee.

[gudguyham at aol.com]

A source  close to Romeo, Dimitri, a well known DXer of several rare entities told me quite with a commanding knowledge of the P5RS7  DXpedition “case” that the disqualification of that DXpedition was a “hatchet job” to protect several big time #1 honor roll members who didn’t know, or take the NEED to work P5 when it wasn’t  on the DXCC list as an active country at the time.  The disqualification was NOT for lack of proof of actually being there but instead infractions of rule 12 and 13 at the time.  Unfortunately that was an “ end all” decision which is irreversible at any later date regardless of “ documentation” to its validity.  Much like an umpire decision ( at the time) in a baseball game.  Made it an “ open and shut” case.  According to Dimitri the DXPEDITION took place “ in fact”.  I recorded an interview with him where he explains the ” politics” of the case and names names.
