IOTA CONTEST ---> The results for the IOTA Contest
2002 are now
available at

that the Liga
Colombiana

NIGER ---> Peter, VY0PW (ex VK8PW and VE8PW) has been
trying for many
months
to get a licence for his QTH in eastern Niger where he
has been working
since
early 2002. He has now received the official news
that a licence for
this
part of the country cannot be issued. This is due to
serious concerns
by the
government relating to the internal security in
various parts of Niger.
A HF
radio in private hands is considered too much of
a risk. The
present
licencing policy seems to restrict the issuing of new
licences to the
capital
Niamey or the immediate surroundings. [TNX DK8MZ]
