PALESTINE UPDATE ---> The  JA1UT/JA3UB  group has been  involved in Palestine
since mid-1994 with a United Nations humanitarian  aid project. providing and
installing VHF radios  in ambulances and  hospitals. Several visits have been
made in pursuit of  the project,  and two of  them included  licensed amateur
radio  operation. The first  step in the resumption of amateur radio was made
by a short operation  of a Palestinian national  Dr Sami Tarazi from the Gaza
Strip on  2nd December  1994  using the  historic call  sign ZC6B. The  first
operation by the JA1UT/JA3UB group took place  between 12-20th  December 1994
from the Gaza strip, using the call signs JA1UT/GAZA, JA3UB/GAZA, JK1KHT/GAZA
JO3XEQ/GAZA. The /GAZA suffix was  used because Palestine did not hold a cur-
rently valid call-sign  allocation. A written  permit was issued by the Mini-
stry of Telecommunications and Posts. The second operation by this group took
place 14-19 May 1995. The call signs used were  JA1UT/ZC6, JA1UPA/ZC6, JA3UB/
ZC6, JO3XEQ/ZC6,  JO3XER/ZC6, JH7DHS/ZC6, JR0CGJ/ZC6. A licence was issued by
the Ministry of  Telecommunications and Posts of  the Palestinian  Authority.
This stipulated the use  of the /ZC6 prefix. An informal approach was made to
a representative of DXAC at the  Tokyo Ham Fair August 1995, sounding out the
possibility of a DXAC accreditation. In the personal opinion of the represen-
tative, it would be a  long time before  DXAC could even consider such an ap-
plication two to the political complexities concerning the autonomy criteria.
The JA1UT/JA3UB  group are  planning another visit to Palestine in late June/
early July 1996. (TNX G3NOM/JA1UT).
