Logo após o fim do ARRL CW apareceu o Martii em 40m operando de Kosovo como YU8BH.

Na dúvida eu trabalhei... work first, worry later. Ainda mais se tratando de quem operou
 (Lembram do P51BH?)

Hoje, está no site da ARRL:

Kosova and Adding New Countries to DXCC

Naturally there are many questions about the DXCC status of Kosova, and whether
or not it will be added to the DXCC list.

The DXCC rules, which were modified in 2000 to better handle inclusion to DXCC,
are clear on how additions can be made:

For inclusion in the DXCC List, conditions as set out below must be met.
Listing is not contingent upon whether operation has occurred or will occur,
but only upon the qualifications of the Entity.

Political Entities, Geographical Entities, Special Areas

#1, Political Entities is the category with which we are concerned with respect
to Kosova.

1. Political Entities:

Political Entities are those areas which are separated by reason of government
or political division. They generally contain an indigenous population which is
not predominantly composed of military or scientific personnel.

An Entity will be added to the DXCC List as a Political Entity if it meets one
or more of the following criteria:

a) The entity is a UN Member State.

b) The entity has been assigned a callsign prefix bloc by the ITU. (The
exceptions to this rule are international organizations, such as the UN and
ICAO. These Entities are classified under Special Areas, 3.a); and Ineligible
Areas, 4.b).) A provisional prefix bloc assignment may be made by the Secretary
General of ITU. Should such provisional assignments not be ratified later by
the full ITU, the Entity will be removed from the DXCC List.

c) The Entity contains a permanent population, is administered by a local
government, and is located at least 800 km from its parent. To satisfy the
"permanent population" and "administered by a local government" criteria of
this sub-section, an Entity must be listed on either (a) the U.S. Department of
State's list of "Dependencies and Areas of Special Sovereignty" as having a
local "Administrative Center," or (b) the United Nations list of
"Non-Self-Governing Territories."

New Entities satisfying one or more of the conditions above will be added to
the DXCC List by administrative action as of their "Event Date."

So, Kosovo will be added to the DXCC list if it becomes a member of the UN, or
(2), if it receives a prefix bloc from the ITU. The third condition does not
apply. The date upon which either (1) or (2) occurs will be the event date.
