PACIFIC

9M8 - EAST MALAYSIA Andrea, DL3ABL, and Michael, DL6MHW, will be QRV from Sarawak from March 14-25. The calls are not known yet but they plan to work on 80m-17m. QSL via DL3ABL.


AFRICA

T5 - SOMALIA Franco, I4LCK, and Onda, IK4SDY, plan to be QRV from Majo Island (AF-052) from March 27 till April 3. Due to a 500W amplifier, a R7 vertical (40-10m) and dipoles for 80/160m you will hear them very loud.

ZD7 - ST HELENA Making a great announcement to many CW DXers Andy, G4ZVJ, stated that he will be QRV again as ZD7VJ in CW only. Because most of the local ZD7 operators work only in SSB this one should be somewhere in the top region of the list of wishes of CW DXers. Andy plans to be QRV on 1827, 3503, 7003, 10107, 14027, 18077, 21027, 24897 and 28027 kHz (+/- QRM) between March 29 and April 12. There is also the slight chance that there will be another activity as ZD8VJ from April 16-23. The QSLs for all preceding expeditions are arriving now, delayed due to Andy's move to a new QTH. Address see below.


EUROPE

9H - MALTA The well known Berlin crew consisting of DL7IO (ex DL7VTM), DL7IQ (ex DL7VTZ), DL7UTM, DL7URH, DL2RUM and others plans an activity using the calls 9H3TY and 9H3TZ from May 17-31. During the WPX CW Contest they plan to work with a 9H8 call. QSLs via DL7VRO.

TF - ICELAND Fred, ON6QR, Peter, ON7PC, Jack, ON5OO, and Stef, ON1KSZ, plan to participate in the WPX SSB Contest either as TF/homecall or as TF7/homecall/p. They will be QRV from the main island (EU-021) from March 26 until April 2. On the afternoon of March 28 they plan to work from the Westman Islands (EU-071). QSL via ON6QR.
