This should not be a surprise, they keep very tight control over what
goes on the air in those regions.  I was looking into a temporary
assignment in China and after I found out all the hoops you had to jump
through just to operate on an established radio.....  let alone taking
one.  You could after the waiting period still could be turned down.

Sorry for the bandwidth, but  received the following important news via
W0YG:
==========
I see on KK5DO's web page the following announcement:

2002 November 23
Press Release for Immediate Distribution

P5/4L4FN QRT

I just received word from Ed, P5/4L4FN that the unfortunate and worst
possible thing has just happened.

Friday evening, 2002 November 22, Ed was called into a meeting with the
"Radio Regulation Board" without any explanation, he was politely asked
to quit all transmissions and pack all his radio equipment. Saturday, he
spent all day on the roof disassemblying his antennas and packing boxes.
At 2:30pm on of the government officials came by, sealed all the boxes
and when he leaves on December 10 for his two weeks R&R he is to take
everything with him out of the country.

This really hits the ham communtity hard. I for one was looking forward
to a satellite contact on AO-40. I know that many of you were still
awaiting your first QSO.

Ed will keep all the equipment for his next duty station. Any money
received from now on will be donated to help ZL1AMO's emergency air
ambulance trip from Figi back home.

SAD NEWS INDEED!

73, Charlie, W0YG.
