[Dx-qsl] 7O1YGF and 7O1A

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

If the 7O1YGF group does indeed have a valid license, and they never submit
it to the DXCC desk (as is required for ANY operation from that and similar
DXCC entities that have limits on their Amateur Service -- if they even have
a regular Amateur Service), how is that the fault of the ARRL?

Please.  Let's cut to the chase.  You want 7O1A and 7O1YGF approved?  Then
have the teams submit their licenses.  The DXCC desk can't approve what it
doesn't see!

This is old news and has be hashed and rehashed many times over the years.
The outcome is always the same.  So why blame the DXCC over and over again?

>From what I have been told, 7O1YGF had approval from the
Aden branch.  Whether the Aden branch had the authority to
issue such approval, does not fault the 7O1YGF team.  The
ARRL is at fault for not accepting the Aden branch approval.

Regardless what the ARRL sez, these two teams were in Yemen,
operated from Yemen, supposedly had local authority to do
so, issued QSL cards for valid contacts, in my mind they are
valid for me.

Suppose it had been American DXpeditions to Yemen and not
German.  For speculation, would it have ended with the same
ARRL decision?  Remember just speculation.

And how does requiring the same documentation  from the 7O
ops that is
required of every other expedition soil DXCC?  If  anyone
has soiled themselves and
their reputation it is the Yemeni government  for going back
on their promises
of documentation.
Have you noticed,  especially since that operation, that
operators of other
dxpeditions are making  sure that they have the written
documentation UP FRONT?
  That was the  only mistake the German group made -
trusting the word of the
government  representatives.

Let me also add that I WISH the operation did  count.  It
would be #331 for
me on cw.

Of course, if there IS  a big conspiracy afoot between ARRL
and some unknown
cabal dedicated to making  sure that no 7O operation is ever
granted
accreditation, I say, "EXPOSE THE  MISCREANTS!"  .... ..
