[OKDXA] 7O yemen question

Bill,

That's not quite correct.  Here's a quote from the Sep 20, 2002 ARRL Letter:

*ARRL DXCC Desk accredits 7O/OH2YY Yemen operation: The ARRL DXCC Desk
reports that it has received evidence that the Yemen operation by Pekka
Ahlqvist, OH2YY, in May 2002 was conducted with written approval from the
Yemeni government. "Credit for QSOs with 7O/OH2YY from May 4 through May
11, 2002, will be given effective immediately," said ARRL Century Club
Manager Bill Moore, NC1L. Regarding the 7O1YGF operation, the DXCC Desk
says it still has received no evidence traceable to the Yemeni government
to accredit that operation for DXCC. "DXCC credit for this operation will
be given only after such evidence has been presented to ARRL," Moore said.

I've talked with Wayne Mills several times on this operation and he says they have never received anything from the German ops that indicated they had approval from the Yemeni authorities.
