My understanding is that Franz and Zorro had authorisation from the Aden
office, not from Sana'a. Given the dubious authorisatoins that some people got
away with, I'd always thohgh that the 7O1A guys got a bit of a raw deal.
However, I'm not in a position to know about whatever games of politics were
going on in the background.
Cynics may say that if you want instant authorisation from ARRL, then take
OH2BH or one of their other pals with you. But I'm not a cynic, of
course...

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.
