• ARRL DXCC Statement on Mount Athos Operation SV1GA/A

    The ARRL DXCC Desk has determined that the operation by a DXpedition team from
    Mount Athos meets theÿDXCC[1]ÿaward program's accreditation criteria. Contacts
    with the team, which operated in January 2025 using the call sign SV1GA/A, will
    therefore count toward DXCC. Additionally, due to actions taken by local
    authorities that resulted in the early termination of the operation, any future
    operations by this team from Mt. Athos will require additional documentation
    for securing accreditation for DXCC credit.

    Mount Athos is an autonomous region of northeastern Greece, governed by the
    monastic community, and is an entity on the DXCC List.
