IRAQI KURDISTAN
Potentially a new DXCC Entity is on the horizon.
If you follow the Intrepid DX Group", Paul Ewing (N6PSE) posted to his blog
( https://n6pse.wordpress.com/ ) on 9 June, "you know that we visited Erbil,
the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan in April 2010 and conducted the YI9PSE DXpedition.
Since that time, we have maintained our relationship with the Kurdistan
Regional Government (KRG) and have followed their plans for independence.
The KRG has welcomed us to return for additional amateur radio activities.
On June 7, 2017, KRG President Massoud Barzani announced following a meeting
of the Kurdish political parties that the Iraqi Kurdish region will hold an
independence referendum on September 25th, 2017 as the first major step
towards independence.
The Intrepid-DX Group will continue to follow developments from the KRG as
they move towards independence. If they declare independence and all
conditions are in place for UN acceptance, we will again hope to join forces
with our friends the Tifariti Gang ( www.dxfriends.com ) and activate
Kurdistan together just as we joined teams to activate the new Republic of
South Sudan in 2011.
