UPDATE – Further to the info below, Bob W9XY informs that he keeps in contact a lot with both Elham and Abubaker and it has transpired that Elham has a hardware failure with her laptop (for FT8) so she is definitely off air at moment. Between them all, they are working to fix the laptop problem.
MARCH 5, 2021 – Information has come to light that on February 25 & 26 this year, a pirate station operating as Elham, 5A0YL was active on FT8.
Abubaker, 5A1AL confirmed to Zorro JH1AJT that Elham had not been active at all during these dates and it was most certainly a faker. Sadly, many QSOs were made with EU and more than 200 alone with JA. Zorro mentions that if you have any questions, you can also ask Abubaker.
JANUARY 26, 2021 – Although not very active recently, Elham 5A0YL has updated her QRZ page with some info:
I apologize for the delay in sending QSL cards out lately. Because of the never ending conflict in Libya, restrictions because of COVID-19, no flights and post between 5A and most countries. Additionally, more than 20 hours daily without electricity makes life here really hard.
Despite all these circumstances, I will be on the air when there is electricity in my area. I am new into amateur radio and looking forward to learning more about the magic of our hobby. Thanks go to Abubaker, 5A1AL who introduced me into amateur radio, he spends a lot of time to teach me and help me get my license.
Looking forward to meeting you on the amateur radio bands; my favourite mode is SSB. Please be patient with me on the bands.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2018 — Earlier today, a new YL op from Libya showed on 20m SSB. DX-World checked with Abubaker, 5A1AL and he confirmed her name is Elham from Tripoli and she is still learning to operate. Abubaker mentioned more info on 5A0YL will be posted on QRZ.com.
The Main Problem at All is when Native People went out of Their Country and dont support Fighting with The gun in The Hand to avoid THE NOW Situation what still is since 2011 !
I think THE One nows I talking about… its a Shame ! and now speak about Daring in he Situation with no Electricity , No clear Water from Pipes and no Gasoline…
Bagging for Radioequipment even I wondering where All The Equipment is gone We and Other People bring There The Last Years between 1997 and 2011 ??? shure was Sold By ?????? , NEVER Work really with the Two Hands to change the Situation… The Result is live in A BIG Trash Can…
Ja , 5 USD ist nicht Wenig für Eine QSL die DER JENIGE nicht mal selbst bezahlen Musste… und vorher also vor 2011 hat Gaddaffi Das Porto und SEINEN Lebensunterhalt und den Der Anderen Einwohner Des Landes bezahlt… das zu Dem ,ausserdem exestieren Fotos , hab ich selbst gemacht 1998 die Haufenweise Qsls auf einandergeschüttet zeigen in einem Raum der Einer Ruine gleicht ,Tausende geöffnete Kuverts aus Aller Welt bereits OHNE CONTRIBUTION GREENSTAMPS weil die hat man ja gebraucht aber nicht zum retournieren von QSLs…
da gäbe es noch viel zu erzählen , ja der ABUBAKER hats geschafft… Nun ist er der Zampano , OHNE Richtige Regierung die nicht anerkannt ist gibts auch Keine Gültige Lizenz , war vorher schon schwierig aber in der Jetztigen Situation eher ein Lippenbekenntnis… Leider ist ALI nicht mehr QRV… Ich hoffe es Geht ihm Gut
…
Very good to see phone activity from Lybia and happy that a YL made it to get a licence there. On the other side asking for 5 USD to get a QSL is an exorbitant request.
