Confusion over Bahrain Amateur Radio Association

WIA News report authorities in Bahrain have notified the IARU that the
Amateur Radio Association of Bahrain (ARAB) is not authorized to
represent Bahrain radio amateurs internationally.

At the IARU Region 1 Executive Committee meeting held in May, Chairman
Don Beattie, G3BJ, said he had told Bahrain authorities that initial
recognition of ARAB as an IARU member society was based on
confirmation by authorities in Bahrain that ARAB was authorized to
represent Amateur Radio interests.

“In view of the recent exchanges, and the fact that there now was no
one answering mail from ARAB, it was agreed to move towards placing
ARAB in suspension,” the May meeting minutes recount.

“Until a valid application is received from an appropriate entity in
Bahrain, there will be no [member society] for that country.”

We understand that the club station A92C has been dismantled.
