I see. Sir, I do not know who you are, as you have not signed a call and are using a somewhat generic email address to hide your identity. So I have no way of knowing whether or not your claims are accurate.
Regardless. You have asked me to "withdraw" my statement which read as follows: >> (2) The 7O1YGF team has never submitted ANY documentation to the DXCC desk >> to have the operation approved for DXCC credit. Just some photos that were >> given to N7NG at Friedrichshafen. This comment is based on published amateur radio news reports circa 2002. If anything has changed in the last five years, it has not been published. Now: In reviewing the information, I do find that I made a small error in that statement. I should not have stated that no "documentation" was ever submitted, but that no "official documenation from the government" was submitted (for reference see http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2002/08/15/2). I had thought that was implicit within the context of the discussion and had not intended it to be perceived otherwise. I apologize for the error as it was unintentional. Therefore, please consider my point amended to read as follows: (2) As far as is publicly known, the 7O1YGF team has never submitted ANY official documenation from the Yemen government to the ARRL DXCC Desk. Without official documenation, the operation (as per DXCC Rules) can not be approved for DXCC credit. Further, the last reports of any submission of material regards photographs and possibly other non-government documentation that were given to N7NG at Friedrichshafen in 2002. Having said that: Hans, if you are who you imply that you are, and as a member of this reflector have been following this discussion... can you help explain to the DX community what the documentation holdup is? I realize that this is a complex situation, and thanks to a local DX'er, retired military, who served in the Middle East at one time, I have a slight understanding of how complicated the political situation can be. So I am not asking you to violate confidences, or reveal things that should not be revealed at this time. Still... surely there must be something that can be said to shed light on the situation? After all, you do seem upset that I (and others) are guessing. Yes, we are speculating based on what little we know and what little we can infer from published reports. Considering the number of DX'ers who are upset about the situation, this is to be expected. So what can you tell us that will clear up the speculation? 73 -----Original Message----- From: Hans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 2:26 PM To: Ron Notarius W3WN Cc: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] 7O Sir, thats exactly what I didnt tell YOU.
