MP4TBO 1965 Trucial Oman
now: United Arab Emirates
Roger Baines, MP4TBO, went QRT
from Trucial Oman June 26, 1967, after 3 years of activity.
During his operation he made 20,000 contacts with 250 countries.
"The Trucial Oman
Scouts was a paramilitary force that the British raised in 1951
as the Trucial Oman Levies, to serve in the Trucial States. In
1956, the Levies were renamed the Trucial Oman Scouts.
In 1971, upon the formation of the United Arab Emirates (UAE),
the scouts were handed to the United Arab Emirate's government
and formed its Federal Union Defence Force (UDF) which is today
renamed as the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces.
The Trucial Oman Scouts were a highly respected and impartial
gendarmerie and were regarded as well trained, well paid, and
efficient."
