Seems like a dumb idea to me... DX from North Korea
« on: March 10, 2015, 2206 UTC »
http://www.dx-world.net/activation-of-north-korea/

On February 28th, DX-World.net broke the news that Dom 3Z9DX had written permission to operate amateur radio from a VERY wanted DXCC entity.

Today, we can reveal that entity is North Korea (P5).

Dom 3Z9DX explains he has received a further letter from authorities in Pyongyang inviting him to a final meeting to discuss [and for he to accept] rules by the North Korean military and the relevant telecommunications department.

This meeting will take place in December with activity planned for January or February 2016.

According to P5 telecoms, Dom will be permitted only three bands (20-15-10) likely using a multiband vertical from a secured place in Pyongyang with two government supervisors over-looking 24/7.

Activity will last for 5 days.

At the moment this is a solo expedition to the #1 Most wanted entity using SSB only. He is working hard behind the scenes to get one more op (CW) to join him.

Please realise this project is a work in a progress and try to understand that it may only be Dom who operates from P5.

More updates / website throughout 2015.

Any questions via Press Officer, Col MM0NDX.

Yikes.

After going through this winter, I'd choose a destination with better weather, if it 'twas me.

(yeah Chris, my socialism extends so far and no further. LOL)


Like Tahiti, Noumea or another south seas locale.

Jealousy doesn't become you, Al.

If you had been kinder in your remarks about Great Leader, you could be the one operating the People's DX Station from the Caverns of Unicorn Mountain.

*shudders*  No offense at all to the project or the operators, but I'm not touching that one.  Fellow ham (squeak! I can say that now) though he may be, I... just can't bring myself to do it. 

Mind you I won't QSL Voice of Korea either, though that's a different situation.

If I were him, I'd be more worried about getting out than getting in.
