SV1GA/A: ARRL DXCC STATEMENT ---> The following was posted to the ARRL's
website on 4 April: "The ARRL DXCC Desk has determined that the operation by
a DXpedition team from Mount Athos meets the DXCC award program's accredita-
tion criteria. Contacts with the team, which operated in January 2025 using
the call sign SV1GA/A, will therefore count toward DXCC. Additionally, due
to actions taken by local authorities that resulted in the early termination
of the operation, any future operations by this team from Mt. Athos will
require additional documentation for securing accreditation for DXCC
credit".
