Following information is circulating right now:
“Hi to all. I just spoke with George, SV1RP by cellPhone. George is really inside Mount Athos and claims that operates 100% legally acording to the Greek laws. He has in his hands all relative documentation that is going to officially translate and sent to ARRL DXCC desk for validation as soon as he will return back. He signs /T (training), as he trains some monks to Amateur Radio. Operation hours are not fixed, as he follows the Orthodox time schedule of the hosting monastery. He will operate mainly in CW. QSL route will be announced later.” 73, Sotiris SV1BDO

Cancelled – SV/A – Mount Athos
The team did not receive the necessary permissions to operate from Mount Athos. Is it time to consider DXCCs like Mount Athos, where permission to operate depends on the holy council and not the Greek authorities, to be deleted?
SV/A – Mount Athos
A team consisting of YL2GD, YL2GM, YL2KA and YL3CW will be active from Mount Athos as SV2/YL7A between May 19-28, 2015. Question remains if this will be counting as the DXCC “SV/A” or just Greece.
