Catalonia must be added in the ARRL DXCC countries list
Catalonia must be added in the ARRL DXCC countries/entities list. Download the ARRL DXCC ENTITIES LIST. July 2024 Edition.
The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) violates the rights of thousands of catalan radio amateurs who have signed the petition to include Catalonia in DXCC countries list. It is unacceptable that he does not respond to our petition. Dear President of the ARRL, Catalonia must be added in the DXCC countries/entities list. Today? Why not? Where is the problem?
Check out these examples:
• Scotland (UK) is a DXCC country but is not an official state. • Balearic Islands (Spain) is a DXCC country but is not an official state. • Canary Islands (Spain) is a DXCC country but is not an official state. • England (UK) is a DXCC country but is not an official state. • Wales (UK) is a DXCC country but is not an official state. • Man (UK) is a DXCC country but is not an official state. • Northern Ireland (UK) is a DXCC country but is not an official state. • Kaliningrad is a DXCC country but is not an official state. • Sovereign Military Order of Malta is a NGO with a call sign not authorized by the ITU, is a DXCC country, but is not an official state.
Many other territories of the world are included in the DXCC countries list, but are not official states.
And Catalonia? Why Catalonia is not a DXCC country? Therefore, if all these territories are DXCC countries, why not Catalonia? Seeing these examples, Catalonia (with own prefixes, EA3, EB3, EC3, ED3, EE3, EF3, EG3, EH3, AM3, AN3 & AO3) has the perfect conditions to become a DXCC country today.
Today, 2,210 signatures have been reached from the radio amateurs asking the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) to add Catalonia in the DXCC countries list. To achieve the goal, we must continue to increase the number of requests.
