[DX-CHAT] [Fwd: 70 Yeman (sorta)]

2011-02-23 Thread Jack


Any one have anything on this?

Several months ago rumors were floating around about a group 
planning to operate from Socotra Island 
(AF-028).

In case you aren't familiarThose not familiar with IOTA Socotra 
Island counts as Yemen (7O) for DXCC purposes!
It now appears that the rumor of a group planning to go may be true 
as someone has posted a Website http://7o7s.de/http://7o7s.de/.

Just what I saw in The Daily DX this morning.

Many have tried to operate from Yemen in recent times. Few have succeeded. Fewer have made more than a handful of contacts. I wish nothing but success on anyone trying, but considering all the politics and past history, I can't say I'd blame them for playing it a little close to the chest.

We will hear in due course. If there is ever anything to hear. I hope there is.
