That was more-or-less my understanding too Zack. Their operation was
approved (in writing ?) by the office in Aden, but was subsequently
disavowed by the head office in the capital Sana'a. Not wanting to
burn its bridges for future amateur radio activities, ARRL/DXCC
reluctantly supported Sana'a. However, I think there have been cases
where ARRL accepted less than a national license - What about the
scouts in 3V8 ?
Perhaps one day Bill will feel free to tell us if we have that right.
7O1A, the operation by Franz DJ9ZB and Zorro, is the one that
frustrates me. So far as I know, there is no geographic issue - they
were there. But what sort of approval did they have? It's the only 7O
I have worked on 40M SSB, and there doesn't seem to be any move toward
it counting.
