> 3DA, SWAZILAND (Ops Needed). Frosty, K5LBU, is once again looking to
> put together a team of operators to do the CQWW DX SSB Contest in

> set up, but he doesn't think they could do a Multi-Multi operation.

> 4U_ITU, ITU HQ. Gerald Lander, HB9AJU, reports (edited) "that the callsign
> 4U1ITU will be put on the air only very seldom in the upcoming future. The
> restricted activities are the result of a general assembly of the Inter-
> national Amateur Radio Clubs (IARC) in May. Several reasons led to this
> decision including increased security levels at the ITU headquarters, a
> changed recognition of amateur radio in international communication and
> last but not least, 4U1ITU does not belonging to the most wanted countries
> list anymore. The IARC decided to focus their activities on special modes
> or conference delegates and to limit all overnight and weekend activities
> as much as possible. Finally the new antennas were installed on top of the
> Varembe building." You can see them at:

> NA-230. Cezar, VE3LYC, will attempt his most difficult operation to
> date: activating for the first time the Ottawa Islands (IOTA
> NA-230) group in Hudson Bay. Name of the specific island and
> exact dates are not available at this time, but they will be
> announced a few days in advance of the operation. Cezar seeks
> to be on the air for 3 full days during the period July 25th
> to August 10th using the callsign VY0O. Ottawa Islands are
> 12-14 hours away from shore and transportation requires a large
> boat. This is not a leisure trip. Traditionally, unstable
> weather patterns, unknown local landing conditions, high seas,
> the presence of ice chunks in the Bay, potential presence of
> polar bears (since islands are cooled by cold winds in summer),
> and other logistical aspects make this trip extremely
> challenging.
> Cezar will work towards a successful attempt but wants to
> convey
> to the island chasers that this operation may be aborted as
> safety comes first. At this time Cezar seeks group and
> individual
> donors who understand and appreciate the difficult and
> expensive
> task ahead and are willing to be part of this effort. All
> those who will contribute financially will be acknowledged. He
> mentions that past support from EU stations has been dis-
> proportionate with their QSO demand (45% of QSOs but only
> 25% support for VY0A), but hopes that this situation will
> improve. Direct and bureau QSL instructions will be announced
> in due course. He requests, "I am desperately trying to find
> support for this operation. Any help will be so much
> appreciated."
>
> IS0, SARDINIA (EU-024). Operators Rastislav/OM3BH, Jozef/OM3GI,

> is expected to be active on other bands when 6m is quiet, especially
> on 17 meters. QSL via his home callsign.

> SPECIAL EVENTS (Moon Landing Celebration!)........
> In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the first manned moon landing,
> the special event callsign VE3MOON will be operating from July 14-27th.
> They will be operating satellites from the Canada Museum of Science and
> Technology during much of this period, usually between 1400-2000z. They
> will also be working HF from various locations throughout the duration
> of the event. Currently, they do not have a set schedule, but they do
> have multiple radios and operators. Popular satellites among their
> operators are AO-51, SO-50, VO-52, FO-29, and the ISS. There will be a
> QSL card for this special call. QSL management is through VE3OIJ.
>
> Look for the special callsign K5E to be active on AO-7 at 1332z, July
> 16th, and will remain active on the FM and CW/SSB satellites, NO-44
> (if operational) and the ISS in packet or voice (if either system is
> active) through 1650z on July 24th. Those dates and times coincide
> with the duration of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon which began
> 40 years ago next Thursday, July 16th. K5E seemed the perfect choice
> for a special event callsign to celebrate the 40th anniversary of
> "one small step for man .... one giant leap for mankind."
> K - the 11th letter of the alphabet.
> 5 - the call district of Houston, location of Apollo 11 Mission
> Control.
> E - Eagle, the Apollo 11 lunar module.
> During the satellite passes, the operator will use the special callsign
> and will ID as "Kilo 5 Eagle". Glade Schroeter, WA3MVQ, is donating
> high-quality full-color QSL cards which will be used to confirm all
> contacts with K5E. Stations wishing to confirm will send their request
> to Tim, N3TL, with an SASE. The card will be standard QSL size and a
> picture of the QSL card is expected to be posted on QRZ.com. Work K5E
> one time to claim a special QSL card. There will be no endorsements
> of any kind, and only one QSL will be issued per valid amateur callsign.

> TK5, CORSICA. Laurent, F5MUX, will be active as TK5UX between July
