Kostas SV1DPI informs DX-World readers that today he talked with Monk Apollo SV2ASP/A by phone.

Monk Apollo is outside Mount Athos, working with the olives, but he offered himself to ask Holy Council and inform us about the operation. The official news is that Holy Council prohibited the entrance of the YL guys in Mount Athos because they announced a Ham Radio operation without a license from Holy Council. The YL guys have a visa to enter Mount Athos this morning as pilgrims but NOT a license to operate. After this they cannot enter in Mount Athos either as pilgrims.

May 15, 2015 – Yuris, YL2GM confirms to DX-World.net that a team consisting of YL2GD, YL2GM, YL2KA and YL3CW will be active from Mount Athos as SV2/YL7A between May 19-28, 2015.

A website with full info will be available in 2 or 3 days time.  Activity on 160m is planned. SV2/YL7A on Club Log.
