3C0V ---> All of the four operators (DJ9ZB, EA5YN, EA5FO and EA5BYP) of the
ill-fated 3C0V DXpedition to Annobon are now back home safe and sound. Elmo,
EA5BYP says they had proper individual licences, as well as written
authorizations and permits for the group to import and operate amateur radio
equipments on Annobon for two weeks (see www.tabarca.es.mn). However, on 4
October at 10 UTC the military authorities of the island demanded that the
group should dismantle the stations and leave for Malabo within four hours on
a Russian cargo plane. On 6 October DJ9ZB and EA5FO were allowed to leave the
country; EA5BYP and EA5YN remained in Malabo until the 10th, when they were
finally able to go back to Spain.

permanent one (since 1989), and not temporary as some tourists who visit
Mexico are issued. If you are in doubt, please E-mail first
(xe1ufo@hotmail.com)". [TNX IT9MRM]
