Monk Apollo calls for return of Mount Athos SY prefix

This was later changed to 'SV/A' but for many HAMs the SY prefix is still connected to Mt Athos, although every Greek radio amateur may apply for a SY prefix now.

This is a thorn in the side of the only radio amateur on the Holy mountain, Monk Apollo, SV2ASP/A.

He asks DXers from all over the world to send an e-mail to
the Greek licensing authority (yme@otenet.gr) asking them to stop this practice.

At the moment Monk Apollo is very active in RTTY because this mode is silent and does not disturb the other monks.

He prefers working in RTTY on 1838-1840, 3580, 7038 and 10140 kHz around 1700-2100 UTC. However his call has been abused by a pirate on Jan 12, 2010.
