Island (3Y0I) [425DXN 1397].  They  "invite all interested hams  to join our
extraordinary   project".   See   http://www.rebeldxgroup.com/  for  further

from 174 DXCC Entities. The delegates to a variety of support  functions and
radio operating  represented 12 countries.  "They worked well together  in a
real ham's spirit and assisted local Kosovar hams in many ways now that they
will  be  on  their  own  among  the global  amateur  radio community".  The
