EQUATORIAL GUINEA ---> Last week, the Government of Equatorial Guinea tem-
porarily suspended all amateur radio licenses. This decision follows the
revelation of a case involving a foreign amateur radio operator who gained
access to sensitive areas with unauthorized equipment. The authorities are
committed to establishing a new regulatory framework that guarantees effec-
tive control over the use of telecommunications frequencies and equipment,
in accordance with national security requirements. The information was re-
ported on 10 September by AhoraEG (https://ahoraeg.com/).
JW0B ---> "After weighing up all pros and cons", Nick, F5FRM has decided to
cancel his 24-28 September operation from Svalbard [425DXN 1791].
