Iraq to Be Back on the Air Later This Month (Nov 13, 2007) -- Diya Sayah,
YI1DZ, President of the Iraqi Amateur Radio Society (IARS), announced today
that effective November 20, all Amateur Radio activity will be "back to
normal" in Iraq. Sayah said, "All Amateur Radio operators in Iraq who carry
a valid Iraqi license will be able to use their radios according to
regulations of IARU Region 1 and the IARS." Amateur Radio activity in Iraq
was suspended in March of this year, with the suspension affecting both
Iraqi citizens as well as any foreigners -- including military personnel
and contractors -- who have been on the air from Iraq. The request to halt
all ham radio activity and the issuance of licenses in Iraq originated with
a letter from the Iraqi Ministry of Defense to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki as part of a new security plan, Sayah said.

I see YI9MI being spotted on the telnet.
Are they back on the air legally? Is this
an illegal operation?
