>>> P5/KA2HTV * NORTH KOREA Doug, VA7DP reports that effective immediately, HF
operation on the bands below 30 MHz has been authorized by Industry Canada
for:
a) amateurs who were certified with only the Basic Qualification prior to 2
April 2002;
b) amateurs who have been certified with both Basic and Advanced
Qualifications;
c) amateurs with only the Basic Qualification who were certified after 1
April 2002, and who achieved a pass mark of 80% or greater.
Those amateurs with only the Basic Qualification who were certified after 1
April 2002, but who achieved less than an 80% pass mark, will either have to
qualify in Morse, write the Advanced or re-write the Basic examination to
obtain HF privileges. This latter requirement is related to a decision to
increase the Basic examination pass mark to ensure that candidates have been
tested in all areas of the syllabus. Also effective immediately, the pass
mark for the Basic Qualification has been raised from 60% to 70%.

26 July:
Hello everybody again!
RE: Yemen Telecom
Their last current problem is they need to pass a legislation abd they do
not know who and how may compose a draft of it (at the Ministry - no
knowledge, no time). Otherwise: two months and they are ready to give
permits..
Can we find samples of legislation related to amateur radio, best from
Arabic speaking countries? Or just from as many as it is possible.
Amything goes.

+ SILENT KEY + The team on Culatra Island (EU-145) [425DXN 735] started
pre-contest activity on 28 July. They planned to participate in the IOTA
Contest as CT6C; however, in the UTC morning of 29 July the operation was
cancelled owing to the sudden and untimely death of Sam Pimenta, CT1EEN, who
was expected to be part of the team. Sam was very well known in the IOTA
circle; he operated from various Portuguese IOTA groups under his callsign
and as IOTA Contest team member (CQ2P in 1998 and CT6B in 2003), in 1999 he
participated in the VK9RS operation (OC-230) and also operated as VK6EEN/P
(OC-199 and OC-183), in 2003 he was one of the ZW8M (SA-042) team members. We
will miss his unmistakable voice in the pile-ups.
