MORE ON AMATEUR RADIO IN YEMEN ---> The following was received
from Vladimir
Bykov, UA4WHX on 23 July:
Hello
everybody again!
I just left the office of the Ministry of
Telecommunications.
Mr Abdulgader Ibrahim, Director
General of Frequency Management Depertment
of the
Ministry of Communications asked me to pass this on
to fellow

arrangement
with the security
section of Yemen Ministry of Interior to give
a
presentation related to amateur radio
trying to prove that:
A. it is good for
the country
B. it poses no threat to
security.
Handbooks, magazines,
tapes, CD's, samples of picture QSL
cards,
amateur radio posters will be
greatly appreacied, being new or used,
no
difference. Send them to him at as
soon as possible to:

2. He can reconfirm via fax or e-mail
that there has never been a single
amatuer radio operation from Yemen, if he receives an official
inquiry
from ARRL or any other AM. Radio
Club. One - only! - authorization
has
been given to a sulatan
of Kuwait but he never operated. All
others
according to his and
a few other officails words are pirates
and
illegal. No matter what documents
they present and what they say.
These are some of the
other names I also know a few e-mails and some cell

good

For the Ministry of Interior there
are no names I can give although they
do exist
it should be enough to put just the mane of the Ministry and
to
the attention of the Minister, Sana'a,
Yemen.
They also told me a story how they caught a
crew of Germans a few years
ago who operated
from Aden from a hotel on amateur radio bands but
the
Ministry people were nice to them and gave
their rigs back to them and
just told them to
shut down they could have easily ended up in prison.
In
fact, they do understand a lot about ham radio here at the
Ministry,
they think they need it. As well as the
community and the people of the
country.
They wanted to establish a club at the
Ministry to teach locals and let
vistors
operate but the Ministry of Interior has never been too happy
with
that.
They (telecom people) are
saying, things might as well change soon.

NEWS
FROM CANADA ---> Doug, VA7DP reports that effective
immediately, HF
operation on the bands below 30 MHz has
been authorized by Industry Canada
for:
a) amateurs who were
certified with only the Basic Qualification prior to 2
April
2002;
b) amateurs who have been
certified with both Basic and
Advanced
Qualifications;
c) amateurs with only the Basic
Qualification who were certified after 1
April 2002, and
who achieved a pass mark of 80% or greater.
Those amateurs with only the
Basic Qualification who were certified after 1
April 2002, but
who achieved less than an 80% pass mark, will either have to
qualify in
Morse, write the Advanced or re-write the Basic
examination to
obtain HF privileges. This latter
requirement is related to a decision to
increase the Basic
examination pass mark to ensure that candidates have been
tested in all
areas of the syllabus. Also effective immediately, the
pass
mark for the Basic Qualification has been raised from 60% to
70%.

YEMEN UPDATE ---> The
following was received from Vladimir Bykov, UA4WHX on
26
July:
Hello everybody again!
RE:
Yemen Telecom
Their last current problem is they need to
pass a legislation abd they do
not know who
and how may compose a draft of it (at the Ministry
- no
knowledge, no time). Otherwise: two
months and they are ready to give
permits..
Can we find samples of legislation
related to amateur radio, best from
Arabic
speaking countries? Or just from as many as
it is possible.
Amything
goes.

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
+ SILENT KEY
+ The team on Culatra Island (EU-145) [425DXN 735]
started
pre-contest activity on 28 July. They planned to
participate in the IOTA
Contest as CT6C; however, in the
UTC morning of 29 July the operation was
cancelled owing to
the sudden and untimely death of Sam Pimenta, CT1EEN, who
was expected
to be part of the team. Sam was very well known in
the IOTA
circle; he operated from various Portuguese IOTA
groups under his callsign
and as IOTA Contest team member (CQ2P in
1998 and CT6B in 2003), in 1999 he
participated in the
VK9RS operation (OC-230) and also operated as
VK6EEN/P
(OC-199 and OC-183), in 2003 he was one of the ZW8M (SA-042) team
members. We
will miss his unmistakable voice in the
pile-ups.
