OC-191, NIUATOPUTAPU IS.:
Masa’s/JA0RQV activation of Niuatoputapu, scheduled for July 10 to 16 as A35JP/p, is currently on hold. Masa arrived on Tonga on June 30 and went through a 3-day quarantine. He is currently waiting for a flight onto the island, with the prospect of cancellation or postponement. In addition to that, luggage on the flight is strictly limited. This may also lead to not operating from OC-191 and OC-123. Operating from the main island Tongatapu (OC-049) is not in danger, though, and may continue until Sept. 25.
NA-070, Kiska Island:
KL7RRC NEWS UPDATE – Prospective dates for the trip are now July 20 to Aug. 3, with operating time on Kiska Island roughly between July 23 and 30.
