CY0P ---> Operations from Sabe Island will stop earlier than planned.
"Rather than returning on 11 October", the team said, "for a number of
safety (WX) and cost considerations, the return date will be on either 7, 8,
or 9 October". Activity is on 160-10 metres CW and SSB. Due to equipment
limitations, there will be no RTTY operation.

HP0INT ---> The HP0INT story (32188 QSOs from the six Panama IOTA groups
between 5 and 19 September), along with pictures and statistics, can be
found at http://www.invokerteam.com/hp0int/

HQ4W ---> Dan, HR2DMR was active as HQ4W from Isla El Tigre (NA-060) for a
few hours between 2-3 October. This was a reconnaissance trip in
preparation for the main activation on 17-20 October [425DXN 1169]. QSL via
KD4POJ. [TNX DX World]

K9W ON HOLD ---> On 1 October the K9W Management team announced that "due
to the U.S. Government shutdown, the Wake Island K9W Forgotten 98s
Commemorative DXpedition is now on hold pending a revised schedule. We will
announce new dates for the DXpedition as soon as possible. Thank you for
your patience and understanding." Keep an eye on www.wake2013.org.

Lithuanian stations with different LY prefixes. Details can be found on the
Vytautas Magnus University Radio Club's website (http://rk.vdu.lt). [TNX
LY5W]

NOT THE QSL MANAGER ---> Con, DF4SA is not the QSL manager for 7X2ARA. "I
ONLY manage my contacts that I made during 2003 CQ WW DX CW Contest from
this club station", he says. Please refrain from sending QSL requests to
him, as "it is a waste of money and time for everybody". [TNX DF4SA]

QSL 9K2MA ---> "I am still the QSL Manager for 9K2MA", Russ WA3FRP says,
"and I am happy to report that Mohammad has, once again, become active and
on-the-air. I have the logs from 1983-1995 plus 2013 - present".

W/VE ISLANDS ---> The W/VE Islands QSO Party will take place from 16 UTC on
19 October through 23.59 UTC on the 20th. Complete information can be found
at www.usislands.org/contest_rules.html.
