** Thanks to the individuals who put the island/group and mode (which is very important) on their QSNs on their PacketCluster reports. The format we suggest is “Mode/IOTA#/Island or Group” (ex. FT8/OC-146/Celebes).

AS-032. Take, JI3DST, will once again be active from Nishinoomate City, Tanega Island (Osumi Islands), between 0700z, Decem- ber 25th and 0000z, January 10th. He will use the following callsigns:
JI3DST/6 for DX mainly JI3DST/5 on FT8 (not use JI3DST/P on FT8) JS6RRR/6 (Mainly for JA, Sub for DX), JS6RRR/P (for FT8) JJ5RBH/6 (Mainly for JA, Sub for DX), JJ5RBH/P(for FT8) Activity will be on 80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10/6/2 meters using CW, SSB, FM, RTTY and FT8. Operations may vary in case of heavy rains or other conditions. Please check QRZ.com for details. Look for logs to be posted on ClubLog and LoTW.

AS-140. (Update) Operators Manju/S21AM and Fazlay/S21IRC are now active as S21DX from Char Kukri-Mukri Island until December 16th. Activity will be mainly SSB, FT8/FT4 and QO-100. Their posted frequencies via their Web page are:
SSB – 7120, 14250, 21350 and 28600 kHz
FT8 – 7090, 10126, 14090, 18095, 21090, 24925 and 28090 kHz
** FT8 is (F/H). SSB Phone frequency might change due to local QRM and Antenna SWR. This are suggested frequency. QSL via ED7DX, direct, by the Bureau or LoTW. They are looking for support. For more details, pictures and updates, see their Web and FaceBook pages: https://s21dx.org

NA-067. Mike, W7LG, announced on QRZ.com that he will again be active from Rodanthe, Hatteras Island, between October 24-29th, 2022. His callsign will probably be W7LG/4 again and activity will be holiday style on 80/40/20 meters using CW and SSB. He usually suggests to look for him between 1600-2100z and 0000-0230z. QSL via W7LG, direct, eQSL or LoTW.

NA-249. (Update) Members of the Radio Operadores del Este (RODE) will be active as KP3RE from from Vieques Island between February 25-27th, 2022. Activity will be on all HF bands and modes plus the satellites. Suggested frequencies are:
CW – 3675, 7025, 10105, 14025, 18085, 21025, 24890 and 28025 kHz
SSB – 3795, 7190, 14195, 18145, 21295, 24945 and 28490 kHz

* FT8 will be in the DXpedition mode.
The team states that they will start on a simplex frequency then switch to split 5-10 kHz UP or DOWN. Satellite operations will be on the FM and Linear Satellites (from WW Loc. FK78). QSL via EA5GL.
