Bodo,5N0OCH (DL3OCH), was informed by the president of the "Nigeria
Amateur Radio Society" that 5N/LZ1QK has no valid amateur radio licence
for Nigeria. Since the ARRL knows this fact as well it is most likely
that these QSOs will not count for DXCC credit.

J20SE, Djibouti (operation of 2009),
A52DT, Bhutan (operation of 2009).
