4K, AZERBAIJAN. Operators Dmytro/UT6UA and Alex/UT5UAS are going to
Azerbaijan to the mountain Geranboy District (LN30GK) to activate this
new EME DXCC-entity and grid on 144 and 430 MHz. The 4K licenses have
been obtained (4K/UT6UA and 4K/UT5UAS). Activity will take place between
June 16-19th (and possibly the 20th). Their setup:
                   144 MHz: 8x7H + PA GS35B + LNA SPF-5122 + TRX TS2000
                   430 MHz: 4x8WL + PA GS35B + LNA ATF-54143 +TRX-TS2000
                   Modes: JT65 and some CW (skeds only)
  The main activity is planned on 144 MHz. They will change the antennas
to 430 MHz for the last day, or one day earlier, right after finishing
with the 144 MHz pile-ups. Listen for QSL instructions. The following
phone numbers on their positions will be available:
                      +870776485556 and +8821658301266
  Logs will be posted to ClubLog. Due to the last events in Ukraine,
their principal sponsors refused to fulfill their obligations. Therefore,
their team will be grateful to any EME operators/contacts for their
donations. You can donate via PayPal to:       ut6ua@yahoo.bg
They state, "Thank You in advance for assistance and see You on EME!"
  The International team of operators (Ukraine, Georgia and Azerbaijan),
called the "Safari Club" active from Nagorno Karabakh, will also be on
all HF bands (except 80m) together with Boris/4K4K and Mamuka/4L2M using
the callsigns 4J0K and 4K3K. The WFF reference number is 4JFF-005. The
QSL Manager for the HF activity only (not the EME QSOs) is via RW6HS.

4W, TIMOR LESTE. If you missed the 4W/HB9FLX operation by Felix this past
week (June 10-14th), look for a team to activate Timor Leste between
October 19-31st. The same group who was active as VK9X/K7CO now plans to
be active as 4W/K7CO. Activity will be on 80-10 meters using CW and SSB,
as well as participate in the CQWW SSB Contest (October 25-26th). A team
is being assembled and they will announce the roster shortly. However,

'houses' (huts) and installing a 2500 meters drinking water pipeline from
a natural spring into the Agricultural College, located on the Island of
Eua. About 26 volunteers are participating from Australia. Operation may
be a bit sporadic as the main aim is the Rotary Project. Apart from daily
operations for an hour or so, I do hope to be active in the Oceania DX
Contest SSB and even possibly in the CW contest the following weekend."
Lee's equipment consists of an IC-7000, AH4 atu, 32' Vertical, and 135'

ANOTHER UPDATE (June 12th): Flo, F5CWU, posted on the FT4TA Web page: "A
big step in the preparation of our operation has been done with sending
three boxes containing the equipment. They are en route to Marseilles,
where they will be shipped at the end of the month on a boat to the island
of RĂ©union. This puts an end to several intensive weeks devoted to the
manufacture of antennas and other equipment that we had to test, weigh
and pack. However, the list of tasks to be performed is still long and
the whole team is mobilized on different folders." Pictures of the team
packing equipment can be see at:

VK0, HEARD ISLAND (VK0EK Update/Radio Team Is Being Reorganized). On June
14th, it was announced on <http://vk0ek.org/>: "During the stay on Heard
Island, we will carry out a full-service all-band, all-mode amateur radio
operation using the callsign VK0EK. We expect to log as many as 150,000
individual contacts, operating from two sites: Atlas Cove and Spit Bay.
In addition, we will use DXA3, the latest version of the real-time online
log server that was used successfully on the Kure Atoll K7C (2005) and
Clipperton Island TX5K (2013) DXpeditions. DXA enables DXers to get con-
firmation of their contact within 1 minute, thereby eliminating the need
for insurance contacts. DXA is fully described in the book by KK6EK.
  We have been building the radio team over the past year, and we have
more than half the projected 20 participants committed. Unfortunately,
in the past two months five team members withdrew, including the team
leader, citing conflicts or the desire to participate in a shorter, less
challenging DXpedition. This circumstance has relatively suddenly left
us short of a team leader and committed operators, and therefore we have
decided to completely re-organize the radio team. The first step is to
identify a new team leader who is widely respected in the DXing community
and experienced with organizing and leading DXpeditions to rare locations.
The new team leader will have the authority and responsibility for re-
building the radio team and for managing the amateur radio operations on
Heard Island."

VP9, BERMUDA. Seppo, OH1VR, will once again be active as OH1VR/VP9 from
Bermuda (NA-005) between July 10-13th. Activity will be on the HF bands
