Island activities:<\/strong><\/p>\n

EU-010\/EU-012<\/strong>\u00a0(Cancelled\/Update) Fraser, G4BJM, was expected to be active as GM4BJM from Yell Island (EU-012) for the RSGB IOTA Contest (July 25-26th), but had to cancel because “their accommodation had fallen through and was unable to find an alternative that was acceptable to his XYL.”
\n(LAST MINUTE UPDATE): Fraser has found an alternative, and has booked the QTH and ferry to near North Uist, Outer Hebrides Islands. His activity will be CW only.<\/p>\n

EU-127<\/strong>. Ralf, DK8FA, reports that 30 operators will be active as DA0HEL from Helgoland Island between March 19-29th. Activity will be
\non all bands\/modes and activity on the QO100 satellite. There will be a side trip to Helgoland Dune signing as DL0IH. For safety reasons, activity from the Dune will only be between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. QSL via Bureau.<\/p>\n

NA-249<\/strong>. By the time you read this, David, KN4ZKT, will be active as
\nKP4\/KN4ZKT from Vieques Island, Puerto Rico, until March 13th.
\nActivity will be holiday style on the 40\/20 meters, and possibly the 17\/15 meters, mostly in the late afternoons (3-6pm local time) and sometimes in the morning (8-10am local time).
\nDavid states, “I’ll have a linked dipole for both bands (40\/20m) and a vertical for 20m running QRP on SSB mode with a Yaesu FT-817.
\nPlease spot me (I may or may not have internet\/cell service), or look for self-spots on http:\/\/dxsummit.fi ”

OC-129<\/strong>. Lenny, N7MOT, is now active as DU6\/N7MOT from Panay Island, which is part of the Visayan Islands, Philippines. He retired
\nhere (his XYL’s homeland, DV6\/N5CMG) in April 2019. Activity will be on 80-6 meters using SSB and FT8.
