Last night I received the following info from hrane for release to DX community.
73 Nenad VE3EXY ... P.S. They are now back to Yugoslavia, with NO QSO made. ===================================================================== In one word it was a thrill !!! We arrived to Pyongyang on March 5-th, where we were welcomed by representatives of Ministry of Telecommunications and Foreign Affairs. We were stationed in YANGAKDO Hotel, on the bank of the river with the same name. The hotel has 47 floors, and we were on the 40-th floor, with almost ideal conditions for work. All our equipment was put together, and we were about to start our operation with previously assigned callsign P5A. Unexpectedly the uniformed military official appeared, and imposed ban on our operation, until the permission of military authorities is obtained. It was supposed to be available on March 8-th, but nobody showed up, possibly because of holiday. We did not want to risk starting unauthorized operation. Meanwhile we had fun listening all pirates pretending to be us, when we did not make a single contact. Finally, the military official showed up on Sunday and simply said: "No transmission until further notice." Than we did not have any choice but to leave. After landing in Beijing, our only comment was: Never Again !!! 73 Hrane YT1AD ------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/
