Two potential “new ones”


HH Brakob
 

Is Vladimir Putin a ham?

He has recognized 2 new ones, Peoples Republic of Donetsk, and Peoples Republic of Luhansk.

Can’t tell if you’re kidding or not. 

These two areas are not UN member states nor are they recognized by the US state department. 

Therefore they do not qualify as separate DXCC entities.  Therefore the DXCC list remains unchanged for now. In the unlikely event that those two areas are recognized by the UN or US state department and they have an IARU member society, they’ll be added. But that’s as likely as me operating from P5.

Not to worry, Ria.   I would have thought that the sheer outrageousness of my question would have signaled that “my tongue was in my cheek”.

Back under my rock.
