The ARRL DXCC Desk has determined that
the operation by a DXpedition team from Mount Athos meets the DXCC
award 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
