Just wanted to get the word out on these DXpedition nuggets, in case I 
failed to get the information out to all the membership.

_NAVASSA ISLAND AND IRAN_
In addition to the recent donation in the amount of $500 by the OKDXA 
for the K1N, Navassa Island, DXpedition which
is due to happen in January of 2015, the Officers and Board of Directors 
also approved a donation to the upcoming EP6T, Kish Island (Iran) 
DXpedition in the amount of $100.  This DXpedition is scheduled to 
happen at the end of January, 2015.

_HEARD ISLAND_
Recent information on the Heard Island DXpedition website indicates 
they're planning on moving their DXpedition up from January 2016 to 
November/December 2015.

_BOUVET ISLAND_
I was more than surprised to discover when I was looking at NG3K's 
"Announced DXpeditions" to discover that ON4WW is shown as planning to 
be on from Bouvet Island in the early months of 2016.  What???

Can it be that the LAST 2 entities I need to "have 'em all" are going to 
happen within 3 months of each other?
If so, miracles DO happen!

Hopefully those of you who needed to fill some band/mode slots or just 
needed Tromelin Island, FT4TA, for an
ATNO, have succeeded by now.  They are making a good showing as far as 
activity goes.  They haven't always
been particularly strong here in the black hole of propagation but it's 
do-able.

73 and see you in the pileups
