[DX] Hutt River Radio - shortwave station planned
Heh, Suomi voisi solmia diplomaattisuhteet Hutt Riverin
kanssa, ehkä muut maat seuraisivat perässä :-)
Ja MLT tuotapikaa hyväksymään uusi maa.
No, leikki leikkinä.

[dxld] Hutt River Radio - shortwave station planned
New DXCC Entity Status Sought:
from Amateur Radio Victoria (WIA Victoria)

The Hutt River Province Principality, a self-proclaimed independent
territory on Australia's mainland has announced plans to begin shortwave
broadcasts and also seek amateur radio DXCC entity status.
Located just north of Geraldton, Western Australia it claimed
self-government 35 years ago and survives on a tourist based economy. The
Australian Government does not recognise its claim of independence.
The Hutt River Province Director-General, Ministry of Electronic
Communications, Eddie DeYoung has announced plans to set up a shortwave
broadcast station possibly to be called Hutt River Radio.
He says its programs will be primarily replays of old radio drama shows,
music from yesteryear, readings from the world's newspapers for print
handicapped listeners, and provide time-slots to non-government humanitarian
aid organisations.
Eddie Deyoung says that Hutt River Province is trying to gain United Nations
recognition which would in turn enable the International Telecommunications
Union (ITU) to issue it with a block of radio callsigns.
He says a written application has been sent this week to the ITU seeking the
H5 callbook block to be issued.
Eddie Deyoung says "A body to represent the interests of amateur radio has
been formed - the Radio Amateur Radio Society (RARS) which is seeking
membership of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU).
"We have just applied for membership in the IARU Region 3 and DXCC status.
According to the ARRL DXCC rules, we appear to qualify for separate country
status - we meet the rule for sovereignty.
"Once we have 'New Country' status, it is anticipated that a large number of
DXers and Contesters will be eager to operate from here."
Applications are now open for non-resident founding charter members of the
local radio clubs, the Royal Amateur Radio Society, with membership
privileges to include a single-letter suffix callsign.
And Broadband over Powerlines (BPL) has been banned by the Hutt River
Province and will definitely not be radiating harmful radio interference
from within its borders.
