They will try again next October and November 2022.   FO/A, FO/M & TX7, AUSTRAL AND MARQUESAS ISLANDS. Lance, W7GJ, who was expected to be active last year from these locations, but had to postponed due to the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, is now planning to be active during the upcoming fall season. He states, "Now that Air Tahiti has published its flight schedule for next fall, I have changed my flight and lodging reservations to provide extended stays in both DXCC. Now the operations in both DXCC include very favorable days for 6m EME, as well as common moon windows with virtually all active 6m EME operators all over the world. I am looking forward to providing the first activations of both the Austral Islands and the Marquesas Islands on 6m EME. Given the large growth in the number of stations active on 6m EME, and the development of the new Q65 software, I am very excited to see how many stations I can work! Please just remember to spread out when you call ;-)." Lance states, "Of course, there is always the possibility that some of the flights and connections along the way will be changed and the operating schedule will not be able to proceed as planned. However, assuming that he flights will remain as booked, and that the current Covid-19 quarantine requirements will be lifted by October, the updated planned travel and operating schedules for both DXCC are on my Web pages at: http://www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/Austral%20Islands%202020.htm http://www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/Marquesas%202020.htm I still have to negotiate some solution to the excess baggage problem, since they don't guarantee transportation of so much extra luggage along with me on my flights. However, that is something to deal with as the time for departure gets closer..." Lance, states, "As you can see on the above Web pages, I will be planning on using Q65-60A for all my 6m EME operations. Please familiarize yourself with this new mode; links are on the above Web pages. If you have never tried 6m EME before, you have 6 months to upgrade your station and become familiar with working 6m EME ;-)" He states [edited], "If a station is unable to produce a stable enough signal for Q65-60A, we may be able to try JT65A or Q65-60B as required, but please do your best to make your transmitter stable enough for Q65 and insure that your computer clock is accurate to within a second. I hope to be able to have at least occasional access to the internet in both DXCC entities. Because both DXCC are located in the TEP Zone, I also am expecting to be able to work a number of stations using FT8 and/or Q65-30C mode via ionospheric propagation. Rimatara, Austral Islands (OC-050), is a solo 6m-only operation between October 15-24th, and the callsign will be FO/W7GJ. If you have any questions that are not covered in the above Web pages, or you are anticipating a problem contacting me during the posted operating schedule, please let me know. I will be joined by Gene, KB7Q, for at least part of the Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands (OC-027), operation, and he will be activating the Marquesas for the first time on 2m EME. We will both be using the TX7MB callsign from that DXCC entity between October 27th and November 7th. If you have specific questions about KB7Q's operation, please contact him directly; I am sure he will be announcing details of his plans as we get closer to October.

A special OF prefix will be launched to all OH stations on September 15th, 2021. Your maximum point value can be 100. The number of your OF/OH contacts.   TEN SPECIAL ACTIVITY MULTIPLIERS -- SRAL and its members are active in a wide range of Amateur Radio activities and each of the ten multipliers represent some of those activities. The multiplying stations are: OH100SRAL, OH2A, OH0W, OJ0C, OF2HQ, OH2YOTA, OG2B, OH6SRAL, OI3AX and OF9X.   This coming weekend, starting already on Saturday, the 17th and including the International Amateur Radio Day, April,18th, you will catch a minimum of five (5) of the featured multipliers: OH100SRAL, OH6SRAL, OH2A, OG2B and OI3AX.   OH100SRAL: This is the official SRAL centennial jubilee station which is circulating all year throughout Finland and is activated by SRAL's member societies (120) and special activity groups.

OH6 is in the middle of the country and has a long history of such transmissions. The chief, Heikki, OH6ZS has done those transmissions for more than 40 years and his dedication to this duty continues. OH6ZS at controls.   OH2A: This is the SRAL HQ station in our capital, Helsinki. It is rarely active internationally, but to honor this special year you can catch it occasionally. Surely A is first in the alphabets. OH2KI and OH3JR at controls.   OG2B: The IARU/NCDXF beacon network has been supported by the SRAL and its dedicated members for almost 40 years. While OH2B is busy at work, the alternative OG2B will be its substitute during this centennial jubilee. Surely you have used the network; (www.ncdxf.org.beacon/) Here OH2BH, OH2GEK and OH7EA at controls.   OI3AX: Amateur Radio activity in the Finnish Signal Corps (OI prefix) have a brilliant history of cooperation with SRAL. Many well-known OHs have caught the bug while doing their service to their country. OI3AX will represent the country-wide network of 35 OI-locations. OH2LGW at controls.   SCORING -- Multiplying your QSO points (maximum 100) by your multiplier value (max 10) will give you your score - maximum of 1000 points.

Alex, IT9HRK (aka T6/IT9HRK, 5A/IT9HRK, YI9/IT9ADT) is reportedly now based in Mogadishu for the next couple of months as of April 11th, and is expected to be active as T5/IT9HRK. He works for the UN crisis management. Activity will be on various HF bands using mainly SSB, but will try CW, RTTY and PSK.   USENET NEWGROUP MODERATORS REJECTED OPDX.1511. If you are wondering why OPDX.1511 did not appear on UseNet NewGroups "rec.radio.info" and "rec.radio.amateur.dx", it was because the bulletin was REJECTED for "Solicitation for 3Y0J DXpedition fundraising. - PWS." The line they are referring to is under the section listed "3Y/B, BOUVET ISLAND (The Major News of the Week!)...." stating -- "The 3Y0J team is looking for funding, and details are available on their Web page." The Moderators/Administrators of these groups (which are Hams) informed OPDX: "Your message has been rejected because it is an offer to buy, sell, or trade, or contains commercial advertising or other commercial content, which is not permitted on rec.radio.info. The newsgroup rec.radio.swap has been set up for this purpose, and your message should be posted there, instead." In further communications with them, they state it was a "difficult edge case" and "As a matter of editorial consistency, we have turned down submissions that involve for-sale or any kind of fund-raising, with the narrow exception of Amateur Radio-related and closely-affiliated organi- zations that have 501c3 status, or its equivalent in other countries (e.g., ARRL, TAPR, AMSAT, RSGB, Red Cross, etc.). Setting the line here allows us to not get overwhelmed by many similar appeals where the charit- able benefit is not clear, or not validated. This includes not only DXpeditions, but appeals for cancer patients, etc. DXpeditions are also arguably business ventures with unclear charitable aims." DXpeditions and fund-raising to go to these rare places is part of this hobby. The line "The 3Y0J team is looking for funding, and details are available on their Web page" is not a solicitation but a reference point to those who would like to donate. If you agree, express your views and opinions to the Moderators/Administrators at: rec-radio-info-request@panix.com   VK9X, CHRISTMAS ISLAND. A few sources are reporting that Steve, VK6SJ, will be active as VK9XX from Christmas Island (OC-002) between May 7-28th. Activity will be concentrated on FT8 on 80/40/30 meters during his spare time. He will be using a FT-857D with a vertical antenna.
