DXpedition planned for March 2002 to Islands on the coast of Baja
California, Mexico by XE2MX, XE1KK, G3OCA & G4CWD has been
cancelled. Having been assured in November 2001 that licences to
operate from those IOTA islands would be made available, three weeks
from the start of our planned Dxpedition to NA-162, 163, 164 & 165
no licences have been issued. Objections to our DXpedition by a
number of Mexican amateurs was instrumental in the delays incurred
in issuing those licences. G3OCA & G4CWD will not give any further
consideration to the activation of IOTA Islands in Mexico. The group
recognises the unreserved support given by Ramon XE1KK to this
