   Hi all,
   Gerd was active on 30m last December, and I missed him.

   Reading the description “no 30m allowed in SU”, I miss this point.

   Is this just a licence restiction for this new activity, or is this a permanent restriction in SU?

   According to Vlad UA4WHX:

   30 and 80 meters are not allowed for everyday use in Egypt – emergency communications only (natural disasters etc or getting ready for them) + The Government may reconsider this later but have not done it yet. 6 meters and all VHF are totally NOT allowed.

   Tnx for the info Col :-)

   So we can only expect “temporary” activities on those bands, till SU government reconsider this. This is clear.

   I have SU9VB confirmed on 30 meters via LoTW from earlier in 2012. I spoke with him the other day about working him on 80 meters – he confirmed that Egypt does not allow 80 meter activity, but does allow 160 meters. Whether that will change or not in the future remains to be seen.

   Happy new year!

   I have a DXCC credited 30 meter CW QSO with SU9VB dated November 7, 2011. The exception proves the rule.
