 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!
