Chill, dude. He's using the NASWA list that counts many countries that
are no longer sovereign entities.
You may wish to consider that as long as he's been an SWL, dozens
of countries have redefined their boundaries, changed their names,
or been formed out of other countries after revolution, or poltical
upheaval. One could, for instance, from the same station in
Slovakia, and received three QSL's from three different countries.
National Geographic would probally tell you about that too, I think so.

Obama gave away trillions to save various corporations. Naturally, all
at the tax-payers expense and that's the way it was before he became a

While we're at it, let's blame Obama for GM dropping Oldsmobile and Buick as
well. GM is on a long, slow slide to the bottom... and has been for a
decade or more (so why did they buy Daewoo???)
Losers like the company of other losers. Daewoo went bancrupt in the
late 90's. What a shame... Anyways, GM discontinued OLDSmobile brand
in 2004,obviously not because BHO was getting into politics in
Illinois. And Buick brand is still around- last I heard GM was selling
more Buicks in PRC than in the US ! "Mark of Exellence". What a joke.

I would ask the WAC people about that. Hawaii and Alaska are not

All but 200 billion of TARP is already paid back. Chrysler I believe is
paid back. GM will eventually pay back 100% plus a profit.
The only crisis is in the news media and its tenuous grip on the facts.
(Why won't the big media complain about money in politics? Because they
are the recipients of all the dirty money!)
About friggin' time. Chevy with chrome trim.

Dropping Buick? Possibly a slip of the keyboard, as Pontiac and Saturn
were dropped, Buick is alive and well, thanks in no small part to our
friends in China who favor Buicks.
And, yes, why not blame Obama for anything and everything? Whatever the
problem, it's obviously all his fault... :-D

Completely. Too cruel.
Moreover, the NASWA countries list is for all nations existing since
the end of WWII; so that official SWL list will contain numerous
nations beyond those in existence at any one time.
I don't think the original poster is very clear on the accepted
conventions of the hobby.
You're likely right.

Actually, no. Using the NASWA Country List, one might have heard Radio Prague back in the 60's and counted that as a
QSL from Czechoslovakia.
Now, since the country has split in two, one might have heard Radio Prague back in the 60's from a transmitter in what
is now the Czech Republic which counts as one country, and heard Radio Prague from a transmitter in what is now
Slovakia which counts as one country.
Or, one might hear whatever broadcast service today, emanating from each transmitter location (location, location,
location!), and count them as two separate countries, not three, using the NASWA Country List, i.e., there is no
separate listing for Czechoslovakia, only listings for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
See: http://naswa.net/list/ where the List can be downloaded at the bottom of the page.

Thanks for the clarification. It's clear, despite 40 years
immersed in SW listening, that I've not pursued QSL's (Veries, for
those in Glendale) to any serious extent. And never with the NASWA
listt. I've got a handful, here. And those are filed away with my
receiver docs.
