The somewhat controversial activation of Kosovo by a group of European radio amateurs earlier this month attracted a great deal of interest from the DXing community. This was because it is felt that Kosovo might at some stage be designated by ARRL as a separate DXCC entity.
Kosovo has recently declared independence, and the purpose of the recent amateur radio activation was to support the re-establishment of an amateur radio infrastructure in Kosovo. The visiting radio amateurs
were joined by a number of local operators. The call sign prefix adopted by Kosovo - Z6 - is currently an unallocated national prefix.
Whether and when Kosovo becomes a separate DXCC entity remains to be seen, but for the time being there is no point in submitting Z60K QSL cards for DXCC credit.
