7O, YEMEN
Steve, 9M6DXX, reports (edited), "Chris Lorek, G4HCL, has authorized me to inform everyone that he plans to be active from Sana, Yemen, once again as 7O/G4HCL from Monday, August 13th until early on Wednesday, August 15th. Chris has written permission and official authority to operate on all HF amateur bands under supervised conditions, but warns that it may or may not be possible to obtain the specific documentation that satisfies DXCC requirements. WFWL! This is NOT A DXpedition but a business trip, and operation will therefore only be when possible and is only likely to be for short periods at a time. Chris will be using 1kW to a professional biconical monopole communications antenna. Activity will be SSB only, and probably only on 20m (look between 14170 and 14260 kHz). QSL information for this operation is direct only to G4HCL, PO Box 400, Eastleigh SO53 4ZF, UK. If Chris is able to get on the air for extended periods, this should certainly liven up the bands a little as a prelude to our 3B7C operation! 73..."
