T30 - WESTERN KIRIBATI To surprise us once again Ron, ZL1AMO, hit the airwaves as T30RW from OC-017 for one week. QSL via homecall.
V6 - MICRONESIA N6VV, NG7S and W7DR cancelled their activity from Mokil (DXNL 1096) since they did not manage to send enough generator fuel to this island in time. Therefore their V63DC activity will take place only from Pohnpei Island (OC-010).
3B7 - ST BRANDON The 3B7RF DXpedition overcame many difficulties even on their way back home: Some people became seasick. Due to heavy storms and big waves the return trip to Mauritius lasted 75 hours (instead of 30). Although, they had adequate supply of water, the sea provided the food source.
5X - UGANDA Laurence, GM4DMA, will be on the air as 5X1LH from Kampala on 2-80m throughout July.
6W - SENEGAL 6W1RE and Chris, 6W1QV, plan to activate Goree Isl. (May 29-Jun 1) and Madelaine Island (from June 5) signing 6W1QV/p on 10/15/20m in SSB and CW. Both islands count for IOTA AF-045. QSL via 6W1QV, direct or via 6W bureau. Didier, 6W1RE, will return to France by the end of June. - The announcement that N2WCQ/6W1 (DXNL 1096) should become active by the end of May has been revoked.

With the support of K4TKM and the NCDXF he hopes to become active as 7O/HA5PP, 7O8DX or 7O8CW this time.
