ITU okays Montenegro, Serbia call sign prefix agreement
May 17, 2007 by kb3ljm.
Although it became a country — and a DXCC entity — in its own right last June, Montenegro has not had an Amateur Radio call sign block to call its own until this month. According to The Daily DX, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) did not want to give Montenegro an entirely new prefix, so it required the states of Montenegro and Serbia to agree upon one or two prefixes from the five (4N, 4O, YT, YU and YZ) assigned to the former Serbia-Montenegro. An agreement was reached May 11, and the ITU now lists 4O (that’s “four Oscar”) as Montenegro’s. This means Montenegro stations may use 4O0 through 4O9, while Serbia stations will continue to use YT and YU prefixes for all call districts, 0 through 9. The ITU has taken back the former 4N and YZ prefixes for future reassignment. The ITU reportedly wants the two nations to complete the transition to new call sign blocks as soon as possible. The Daily DX Editor Bernie McClenny, W3UR, recommends that DXers update their logging software carefully to reflect the changes.

Loss of Amateur Radio License is Part of Settlement with FCC
May 17, 2007 by kb3ljm.
An Indiana radio amateur will have to surrender his General ticket under the terms of a Settlement Agreement reached with the FCC stemming from alleged corporate and personal misdeeds. In addition, Timothy M. Doty, WB9MCD, of W Terre Haute, will have to yield his General Radiotelephone Operator License, and Commercial Radio Service (CRS) Inc, in which he’s an equal partner with his brother, Gary, will have to surrender its Land Mobile Service licenses. In a Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O) in EB Docket 06-168, released April 26, the FCC said the settlement spares all parties from a lengthy legal proceeding, although according to its terms, neither the Dotys nor CRS admit to any violation of the Communications Act of 1934 or FCC rules.
