3C0L and 3C1L Annobon and Equatorial Guinea -update Short text message from Yuris says that they are on Annobon. Their passports were taken away. Tomorrow is a national holiday and the governor is not speaking to them. Sounds like some additional permission is needed locally. QTH is OK, but could be more space for antennas. In the best case they will be on the air on Friday 13th .
