The following was received from UA4WHX, Vlad, who is still in Sana,
Yemen. I'm holding my comments at this point, however as you can now see
at least one operation was authorized.

HELLO EVERYBODY AGAIN!

I JUST LEFT THE OFFICE OF THE MINISTRY OF
TELECOMMUNICATIONS.

MR ABDULGADER IBRAHIM, DIRECTOR GENERAL OF FREQUENCY
MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF THE MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS
ASKED ME TO PASS THIS ON TO FELLOW AMATEURS:
1. HE NEEDS AS MUCH VISUAL MATERIAL AS POSSIBLE AS HE HAS
AN ARRANGEMENT WITH THE SECURITY SECTION OF YEMEN MINISTRY
OF INTERIOR TO GIVE A PRESENTATIOM RELATED TO AMATEUR RADIO
TRYING TO PROVE THAT:
A. IT IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY
B. IT POSES NO THREAT TO SECURITY.

HANDBOOKS, MAGAZINES, TAPES, CD'S, SAMPLES OF PICTURE QSL
CARDS, AMATEUR RADIO POSTERS WILL BE GREATLY APPREACIED,
BEING NEW OR USED, NO DIFFERENCE. SEND THEM TO HIM AT AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE TO:

MR ABDULGADER IBRAHIM, DIRECTOR GENERAL OF FREQUENCY

SANA'A
YEMEN
TEL: 00967-1-331455

2. HE CAN RECONFIRM VIA FAX OR E-MAIL THAT THERE HAS NEVER
BEEN A SIGNLE AMATUER RADIO OPERATION FROM YEMEN,
IF HE RECEIVES AN OFFICIAL INQUIRY FROM ARRL OR ANY OTHER
AM. RADIO CLUB.
ONE - ONLY! - AUTHORIZATION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO A SULATAN OF
KUWAIT BUT HE NEVER OPERATED. ALL OTHERS ACCORDING TO HIS
 AND A FEW OTHER OFFICAILS WORDS ARE PIRATES AND ILLEGAL.
NO MATTER WHAT DOCUMENTS THEY PRESENT AND WHAT THEY SAY.

...................

THESE ARE SOME OF THE OTHER NAMES
I ALSO KNOW A FEW E-MAILS AND SOME CELL PHONES
BUT I AM NOT AUTHORIZED
TO GIVE THEM.

ALL OF THEM SPEAK VERY GOOD ENGLISH!

FOR THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR
THERE ARE NO NAMES I CAN GIVE ALTHOUGH THEY DO EXIST
IT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO PUT JUST THE MANE OF THE MINISTRY
AND TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MINISTER.
SANA'A
YEMEN
...............

THEY ALSO TOLD ME A STORY HOW THEY CAUGHT A CREW OF GERMANS
A FEW YEARS AGO WHO OPERATED FROM ADEN FROM A HOTEL ON
AMATEUR RADIO BANDS
BUT THE MINISTRY PEOPLE WERE NICE TO THEM AND GAVE THEIR
RIGS BACK TO THEM AND JUST TOLD THEM TO SHUT DOWN
THEY COULD HAVE EASILY ENDED UP IN PRISON

IN FACT, THEY DO UNDERSTAND A LOT ABOUT HAM RADIO HERE AT
THE MINISTRY,
THEY THINK THEY NEED IT. AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY AND THE
PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY.
THEY WANTED TO ESTABLISH A CLUB AT THE MINISTRY TO TEACH
LOCALS AND LET VISTORS OPERATE BUT THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR
HAS NEVER BEEN TOO HAPPY WITH THAT.

THEY (TELECOM PEOPLE) ARE SAYING, THINGS MIGHT AS WELL
CHANGE SOON.

I HOPE THAT HELPS
USE IT
IN YOUR BULLETINS
