YV0 - AVES Rumors of an operation in the near future are wrong. The earliest an operation will be held is Mar/Apr 1999.


ASIA

7O - YEMEN There are two contradictory news at the same time. The Ministry of Communications in Sana'a as the main body responsible for communications had never issued an official authorization for Amateur Radio. It seems there is only a document from the Aden office. In accordance with this the 7O1A operation cannot be accepted for DXCC credit. On the other hand Franz, DJ9ZB, is said to go to Yemen again in late April, now also for CW and RTTY. The equipment, including beams for 10 - 40m is already shipped.
