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

AS-118<\/strong>. (Postponed) Neil, G0JHC, reports that the Kuwait Amateur Radio Society’s 9K2F Failaka Island IOTA DXpedition has been post poned. Operation was to take place between March 11-15th.<\/p>\n

EU-107<\/strong>. Operators Gil\/F4FET, Antoine\/F5RAB and friends will be active
\nas TM7P from Petite Island during the RSGB IOTA Contest (July 25-26th) as a Multi-2 entry. They plan to be active some days before and after the contest weekend. QSL via F4FET.<\/p>\n

EU-118<\/strong>. Col, MM0NDX, reported this past week, “There’s been no activity from there (Flannan Isles) since 2010 when the MS0INT crew made about 8K QSOs. I recently contacted the boat operator who took
\nus out there 10 years ago and they now say all landing areas have been eroded away and only recommend ‘fit’ people attempt to go there nowadays as ‘it’s very difficult to land’. So unless it’s reactivated soon I guess this could become a real rare one in the years ahead.”<\/p>\n

NA-034<\/strong>. Lou, W0FK, who was expected to once again be operating as
\nW0FK\/4 on Longboat Key between from March 1-14th, had to postponedhis operation until later this year.<\/p>\n

OC-092<\/strong>. (Cancelled) Jacek, SP5APW, who was expected to be active as
\nDU2\/SP5APW from Calayan Island in April, has canceled his operation due to possible travel issues because of the Corona-virus.<\/p>\n

SA-029<\/strong>. Members of the CabreuvaDX Team will once again be active as
\nZV1C from Cedro Island between May 1-3rd. Activity will be on 160\/80\/40\/20\/17\/15\/10 meters using CW, SSB and FT8. There will also be activity on 2 meters satellite. QSL via PU2VCP. For more details and updates, see QRZ.com.<\/p>\n

Club will be finishing their activity as XR8RRC from Wellington Island (SA-032, which is located in a heart of Chilean Patagonia) possibly on March 16th.

\nOnce XR8RRC goes QRT, the team will then head to Puerto-Natales, and then possibly activate Riesco Island (SA-091), weather and transport permitting. Activity will be up to 48 hours.
