> >stations will be on the air with the AN400 prefix, marking the 400
> >years since the death of Cervantes, called "the greatest writer in the
> >Spanish language." He wrote the book, "Don Quixote." After the AN400
> >prefix will come a single letter suffix, the 14 of them spelling the
> >full name of Cervantes, "Miguel De Cervantes." So, there will be
> >AN400M, AN400I, ANN400G, etc. Certificates for working them will be
> >available free to hams and SWLs, in PDF format. Top participants who
> >work the 14 will get a crystal medallion with their name and callsign
> >on it. More than 100 ops will be part of putting these 14 stations on
> >the air on 160-10 meters SSB, CW and digital modes. QSL via the
> >bureau or direct to EA4URE, plus Club Log and LoTW. For full details,

> >E5/S - South Cooks -
> >E51AND reports that M1KTA will be on Rarotonga for the BERU Contest
> >March 11-12 next year, with a few days of more casual operating either
> >side of that event. He also hopes to take a UK group on an expedition
> >to Manihiki in the North Cooks, with dates to be announced.
> >
> >E5/S and E5/N - South and North Cooks -
> >K7ADD and N5EIL are booked to go to Rarotonga and Manihiki in the new
> >year, with the expensive air tickets already booked, and with only 11
> >kg of baggage allowance per person, and a completely additional ticket
> >just for gear. They expect to be on Manihiki from January 10-February
> >7, QRV "all but the arrival and departure days with two legal limit
> >stations running all bands SSB, CW and RTTY."
> >https://e51amf.amateurfoundation.org/

> >E5/N - North Cooks -
> >Lastly from E51AND, Andy says DJ5IW and a group from Germany who went
> >to Lord Howe in 2014 are trying to put an expedition together for
> >Pukapuka Atoll, IOTA OC-098, in the North Cooks for late March.
> >Transportation is the big issue. They hope to have 3-5 high power
> >stations and extensive antennas and emphasize low band operation.
> >They are inquiring about using the SS Braveheart for taking the gear
> >and presumably the operators too. E51AND says Pukapuka is the rarest
> >of the Cooks, with only 8% of IOTA participants claiming it. It was
> >last activated, we think, over 10 years ago. Also a possibility is an
> >8-12 passenger ship sailing out of Pago Pago in the Samoas, if one can
> >be found. It is much easier to get to Pukapuka from Samoa, a 2-day
> >sail, than it is from Rarotonga, which takes five days.
> >
> >5X - Uganda -
> >DL3YM, Professor Dr. Andreas Gissel, returns to Uganda on business
> >September 20 and will stay there until October 1. He has successfully
> >renewed his 5X8B license. He flies from Frankfurt to Entebbe via
> >Dubai, taking along a TS-480 and homebrew vertical dipole with an open
> >wire feedline. Andy hopes to operate some in his free hours, 100% CW.
> >He has gotten information that he might be invited to set up his QTH
> >on the campus of Nkumba University, in which case he may be able to
> >introduce ham radio to the students and might make a few SSB QSOs in
> >addition to CW, to demo ham radio to the students. He figures a CW
> >pileup might be a little confusing!
> >
> >6Y - Jamaica -
> >The CQ WW DX Contest, CW version, is November 26-27. 6Y3T from
> >Jamaica will be a multi-two by VE3CX, VE3JAQ, VA3EC and VE3RZ. QSL
> >via VE3CX.

> >V6 - Micronesia -
> >V63DX and V6A from Pohnpei, Micronesia, will be November 25-30, with
> >JA7HMZ, Sho, operating. He will be in the CQWW CW with the V6A call,
> >single operator all band. QSL to his home call in Japan.
> >
> >TF - Iceland -
> >Iceland is now a full participant in the SOTA, "Summits on the Air,"
> >program, as of September 1, with 908 summits identified and

> >C9 - Mozambique -
> >C81AK is the Mozambique callsign for WB6OJB, Arnold. He arrived there

> >goes until the morning of September 9. He asks that you only work him
> >once per band. QSL via WB6OJB, no bureau or eQSLs, and include 2-3
> >USD to pay for the postage and cards. His QTH is in Belene and he has
> >taken along an IC-7300, Com 600S amplifier running 500 watts, a
> >hexbeam 15 feet above his rooftop, a 40M vertical for early morning
> >operation. He says he likes 20, 17 and 15 during the day and is SSB
> >only. He says it's a DX holiday for he and his wife, with no outside
> >financial help, a way to give back to the hobby. He is 80 years old
> >and this is his 8th ham trip to southern Africa and he went to Palau
> >once too. He is still working as a medical doctor. He notes his
> >wife, Joan, always goes along, "I could not get out of the airport
> >without her."
> >
> >3B8 - Mauritius -
> >The Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin notes that 3B8TX by ZS4TX, Bernie, will be
> >on the northwest coast of Mauritius September 16-19. Mauritius not
> >being rare on six meters, and being a six meter fan EME, he will
> >concentrate on North and South America at moonrise and ZL/VK at
