> We were stationed in YANGAKDO Hotel, on the bank of the river

> the 40-th floor, with almost ideal conditions for work. All our
> equipment was put together, and we were about to start our
> operation with previously assigned callsign P5A.
> 
> Unexpectedly the uniformed military official appeared, and
> imposed ban on our operation, until the permission of military
> authorities is obtained.

> It was supposed to be available on March 8-th, but nobody
> showed up, possibly because of holiday. We did not want to
> risk starting unauthorized operation. Meanwhile we had fun
> listening all pirates pretending to be us, when we did not
> make a single contact.
> 
> Finally, the military official showed up on Sunday and
> simply said: "No transmission until further notice."

> Than we did not have any choice but to leave. After landing
> in Beijing, our only comment was: Never Again !!!
