DXCC staff then requested some additional information. After more than one year, additional information was received. During that year, the ongoing investigation into the paperwork and photographs suggested that the operation may have taken place from another location. Documentation in support of P5RS7 accreditation did not establish that operating permission had been granted by appropriate authorities, nor did it establish that the operation took place from the territory of North Korea. After reviewing all available information, there will be no DXCC credit for the P5RS7 operation, and the file has been closed. This determination is based upon Section I., 7) and 12) of the DXCC rules. NNNN /EX
