[Dxbase] Who is the expert on Old Russian callsigns/prefixes? deJoe wa6axe

Hi Joe,
I would think that ARRL must have some pretty accurate information, since 
they must confirm that qso's on a particular date are valid for the entity a 
person is claiming credit for when applying for DXCC credits.
I don't know who to talk to there, or if they would share the info with you, 
but might be worth a try.
GL - 73,
Tim - N3XX

>> (1) The cut-off DATE that we have in DXbase needs to be validated!

>> (a) Republic Of Moldova admitted to UN on March 2, 1992
>> (b) Republic Of Moldova gains membership in the ITU on October 20, 1992
>> (c) AC6V website lists the "start date" for ER (Republic Of Moldova) as

>> (d) Clublog.org website has the "start date" for ER(Republic Of Moldova)

>> (e) DXbase currently has the "start date" for ER(Republic Of Moldova) as

>>> Talk about a WIDE variety of dates .. and, none of them cooincide ...
