News from JT1FDB
----------------
In the last DX Newsletter we published a message of JT1CS that JT1FDB/7
would be a pirate. Now we have got following statement from OM Frank,DD0CW:
"I read in the DX Newsletter that you passed on the information of JT1CS
stating that my activity as JT1FDB/7 would have been illegal because of an
expired license. However, the truth is that I am a victim of an internal
struggle for power within the Mongolian Radio Sport Federation.
In 2006 I have received a license for JT1FDB for US$ 250 which is valid
until the end of 2011 and was issued by the previous management of the MRSF.
Meanwhile, the management has changed. They now assume that my license was
not valid although I have been on the air in the years 2006 and 2008,
without disturbing anyone (even I was spotted on the internet).
Already in 2000, 2002, 2006 and 2008 I was using my JT1FDB license and was
working as JT1FDB/7 before, which means appending the regional suffix. This
was referred to me by the previous management as correct. Meanwhile, you
should buy an extra license for each region. They are now valid for only one
year and cost US$ 200 a piece. The main problem in JT is that the sovereign
function of 'issuing a license' is not done by a public authority, but by
a radio club. So you have no legal security. Moreover, this club obviously
discovered the issue of licenses as a source of money and is becoming more
and more immoderate.
Vy 73 de DD0CW, Frank."
