[Dx-qsl] OX/NA1SA rejected by DXCC desk

Fellows:
In order to have an operation accredited for DXCC, the operator(s) must show 
that he or she is (they are) properly licensed and that the operation took 
place from the claimed entity. There's another issue in this case: NA1SA 
is a club's call (Kosmos Radio Club International). CEPAL does not favor 
club's calls use by DXpeditions (or DXpedition-like operations). That issue 
has been raised before and there have been objections by CEPAL members to 
that kind of operation. In this case, the operator(s) should have used his 
(their) personal call, and there would have been no problems. Apparently, 
the operator(s) has (have) not submitted at least one of the requirements 
for accreditation. Normally, if you operate in the Caribbean, you do not 
have to submit documentation unless there's a problem (doubt) with the 
legitimacy of the operation.
I hope that the operator(s) in this case can clarify the situation and 
submit whatever documentation is required for DXCC accreditation (OX/NA1SA 
is my only 40-meter CW QSO).
