I know all of the propagation forecasts about the next solar cycle are depressing but if you never turn on your radio and get on the air you will never know what's available to work!

We won't take any action until  our next in-person meeting after review and recommendation from the Executive Committee however I do want to let everyone know we have received a request from the ZK3A Tokelau Island team. Their request is attached. Although it ranks #40 World and #26 in Europe it ranks #92 in North America, outside our current criteria. There have been recent operations from there in 2010, 2014 and 2015 although not on a scale as large as this planned operation.
