EU-047. Oliver, DK7TX, will be active as DK7TX/p from Wangerooge Island between June 5-10th. Activity will be holiday style 20-10
meters. QSL via hishome callsign.

EU-114. Members of the Martello Tower Group will once again be active

Operators mentioned are Keith G6NHU/KB3WPE, Tony G0MBA, Richard G7HJK, Colin M1EAK, Kevin M0GWE, Yan M0YNK and Chris 2E0DBY.
The plans are to have three stations on the air: 2x TS-590 and 1x
TS-2000. Activity will probably be on 80/40/20/15/10 meters using SSB and RTTY (same as last time). Herm is one of the smallest Channel Islands, and although it's part of the EU-114 IOTA group, it's not activated very often. QSL via G6NHU, direct or by the Bureau.
