Latest on South Sudan - Z81X on the air


New countries are born rarely these days but such is the case with the
Republic of South Sudan (SS). Initial activity (ST0R) from the newly
created DXCC entity largely met worldwide demand for "a new one". That
operation was followed by a handful of hams working in the country on
behalf of humanitarian and other international organizations. They
include the Z81B (European Union), Z81D (UN WFP) and Z81Z (VOA)
activities.

Meanwhile, no full-fledged amateur radio infrastructure is yet
established in South Sudan. This includes amateur radio regulations,
licensing procedures and ways of calling on locals to get involved.
Currently licensing is available only to individuals permanently based
in South Sudan.

With these considerations in mind, Radio Arcala (OH8X) is undertaking an
initiative to work closely with the local telecommunications
administrators and provide them with assistance and a helping hand.

Olli, OH0XX currently in Juba, will be joined by Martti, OH2BH this
weekend, and during their spare time they will also put newly licensed
Z81X on the air.

Mission Goodwill South Sudan is pleased to recognize the support of Mr.
Pekka Haavisto M.P., Finnish Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa and
Sudan, who played important United Nations and European Union roles in
the negotiating process leading toward South Sudan's independence.

We also wish to acknowledge the backing of the Embassy of South Sudan in
Oslo, Norway and the valuable assistance provided by Jim, Z81A (K7QI),
Diya, Z81D (YI1DZ) and Ken, Z81Z (K4ZW).
