--Press Release 5 for Annobon Island 3C0V--
BACK DXPEDITION OPERATORS
Members
of Team 3C0V are in excellent health and safe at their respective homes.
The
group has always operated with all necessary legal documents to carry out
an expedition to the Island of Annobón (Pagalu) 2003.
We
have:
--Licences
of individual radio operators for each member of the group.
--Written
authorization from the Minister of Transportation and Communications to
visit the Island of Annobón for two weeks.
--Authorization
from Malabo's Director General of Customs to carry out a Special Temporary
Importation for the import and export of the equipment necessary for our
expedition.
During
our stay on the island the military authorities interrupted our mission
frequenctly in spite of the fact that we had in
our possession all neccesary permits.
During
our first week there, we negotiated several times with the Military
Authorities without success. On October 4, at 10:00 GMT the Military
Authorities ordered us to stop all transmissions and dissasemble all
antennas, and we were expelled from the island in a Russian cargo plane.
We were sent to Malabo with four hours notice.
Unfortunately,
we could not save most of our photographic material. We only managed to
salvage a few photos.
On
October 6, two of our operators obtained authorization to leave Malabo.
The rest had to remain in the capital to resolve bureaucratic formalities.
 On
October 10, EA5BYP and EA5YN left the Republic of Equatorial Guinea.
We
deeply regret not having been able to fulfill the objectives of this
expedition, and are very grateful for the help given us by the
Associations, Clubs and individuals, as well as the kindness and
friendship always given us by the people of Annobón.
We
do not feel free to share any additional details about what happened in
order to keep open the possiblility of future expeditions to Annobon. We
hope you understand the difficult and delicate situation we went through.
Nevertheless,
we do not abandon hope of reactivating 3C0 when circumstances improve.
A
heartfelt thanks for your support.
73,
ELMO team leader 3C0V--2003
