INFO

3C0 Teo, EA6BH, will not be QRV from Annobon Island in the near future.

9M6 Tony, 9M6/G0OPB, plans to be active from OC-133 and also in the IOTA Contest from July 25-28 and from August 2-4. QSL via homecall.

CY0AA This expedition logged 15931 QSOs. 6758 of them were made in SSB, 8987 in CW, 184 in RTTY and 2 were EME QSOs.

D4 Like announced before Veronica (correct call IK3ZAW) will be QRV from Cape Verde starting July 21. She will be accompanied by Martino, IK3RIY. Both plan to operate from the shacks of the local amateurs (D44BC, D44BS) mostly on 20m SSB. QSL via homecall.

FO F00ALE (CX3AN), FO0CAA (CX3CE) and FO0REB (CX4CR) from French Polynesia were spotted mostly on 20m SSB during the past week. The QTH of these stations is Moorea Island (OC-046). QSLs via homecall.

FT5WE will take part in the IOTA test possibly using the call of FT5WF.

P5 Like all previous DXpeditioners Sanyi, HA7VK, received a negative answer to his licence application from the DPRK PTT Minister. However Sanyi will keep trying. Therefore all calls like P51VK, P57VK, HM0DX etc. which appeared during the past few days were the work of pirates.

V63CO Uwe's detailed route looks like this:

August 10-14 Truk (OC-011)
August 14-22 Kosrae (OC-059)
August 22-27 Pohnpei (OC-010)
August 28-Sep 1 Yap (OC-012)
