Southern Sudan Government officials now understand amateur radio, and they are ready to change the actual rules and regulations as soon as possible, looking to simplify the process of obtaining a license, so that everyone can enjoy amateur radio in this new country.
We have the cooperation of both Ministries to update our license if there is a new prefix that will be assigned by ITU, and we'll be in permanent contact with the proper department helping in the development of amateur radio in Southern Sudan.
Our Dxpedition will start on July 9th from Juba so please stay tuned. I want to thank the Government of Southern Sudan officials for their cooperation and my whole team support.......

DXpedition operations between October 3-7th - another 2-3 days of relaxed
operations following the CW Contest, then leave Vanuatu on October 14th.
Plans are still developing and depending on interest, ODXG will run multiple stations from two separate locations on the island of Efate (Port Vila) which is just a 4 hour flight from Melbourne. Any interested people should register with Chris, VK3QB. Please provide a brief overview of your interests, any relevant or special skills (many skills contribute to a successful DXpedition) that may be useful for the trip. Send via E-mail to vk3qb@wia.org.au or call 0429 187 593.
