[Dx-qsl] 7O1A Yemen in 1996

I have been told by a reliable source that, in essence, the hold up on 7O1YGF was the lack of documentation -- ANY documentation -- that showed that they were in the country legally, and/or that they had permission to import the equipment they operated with, either of which would imply that they had permission to operate.
And for years, the hold up was that the documentation, if it existed, had never been provided.
If one of the operators from the team finally provided said documentation, that might have been what broke the stalemate. And maybe the person who did that doesn't want it to be known, for his own reasons.

I never did find out exactly how 7O1YGF was belatedly approved. I guess we
are not supposed to know the details.
