The one I need is 7O Yemen!
Hopefully this entity is activated soon for an extended period of time
with equipment and ops to give the deserving a fair chance to both hear
it and reach it and above all, THAT IT COUNTS FOR DXCC!
Like thousands of others I have two cards from people who have been
there. Both groups had permission to operate. Those permissions were
valid while they operated and only after they ceased activitiy one of
the operations was called invalid the other illegal.
The paper of the invalid one was issued by the wrong office! Internal
rivalries of two groups within the administration, probably a leftover
from the times when there was a North- and a South-Yemen? How should a
DXpeditioner know that the office he was dealing with was not authorized
to issue a license to operate?
The one later called illegal might have stepped on someones toes. In the
end there seemed to be differences in the understanding of operating
site and what should happen with the DXpedition material and other
details. They finally ended up in a classic deadlock. The version of the
story told by the DXpeditioners does not match the one told by the
administration. But bear in mind that the administration in Yemen has
changed since the DXpedition, with a whole set of different people in
office now.
