> 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."

> Everyone had a great time with plenty of eats and congratulated/wished

> 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
