> Gentlemen,

> I will be on a business trip in Sanaa, Yemen from the evening of May 7th
> till late night on May 11th, 2002. I did apply for permission to operate
> amateur radio during my visit and I have
> received a written confirmation, dated on April 23rd, to import my radio
> equipment and to operate them during my visit. So far I have not been
> assigned a 7O-call sign and unless otherwise agreed after my arrival, I
> will be using a call sigh 7O/OH2YY.
>
> I will carry a FT840 transceiver and a FinnFet 1001 amplifier. I will also
> have a Cuscraft R5 vertical with me and once in Sanaa I try to organize
> either a dipole or a long wire for 40 and 80 meters.
>
> I will be using the following frequencies: 3790, 7045, 14195, 18135,
21295,
> 24950, 28495 kHz. If the propagation allows, I will try to maximize the
> number of QSOs by staying on higher frequencies. I will operate SSB only.
>
> My QTH in Sanaa will be a bit outside of the city in a residential
> district. It's a higher altitude location having a very nice and clear
view
> to the north over the valley of city of Sanaa. The QTH should be good for
> QSOs to North America, Caribbean, Europe and most of
> Asia, including Japan.
>
> On Tuesday May 7th I will arrive in Sanaa so late that most likely I have
> to wait till next morning to get the antennas installed. I will have
> business meetings on Wednesday and Saturday and I am not aware of the
> detailed schedule yet. On Thursday and Friday I should be able to operate
> most of the day. Anyway, I will use all the available time for DXing.

> The QSL address is my home address:

> Vantaa, Finland.
