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

Since no or few new IOTA announcements have been made during the past several weeks (probably because of many COVID-19 travel restrictions), OPDX decided to list the following IOTA operations that were active this past week between June 28th-July 4th (as per the DXCluster):<\/p>\n

** Thanks to the individuals who put the island\/group and mode
\non their QSNs on the PacketCluster reports….<\/p>\n

EU-031<\/strong>. Salvadore, IC8SDL, is active from Capri Island. Activity is
\non various HF Bands including 6 meters. QSL via IC8SDL:
\nSalvatore Lembo, Porciello 4\/a, Capri, 80073, Italy.<\/p>\n

EU-047<\/strong>. Markus, DJ4EL, will be active as DJ4EL\/p from Juist Island between July 10-13th. Activity will be on 40-10 meters using SSB with mono-band and multi-vertical antennas. QSL via LoTW or his home callsign. ADDED NOTE: Markus plans to activate more German islands (which have never been activated) at the end of August. Look for more details to be forthcoming.<\/p>\n

EU-081<\/strong>. Operators Jean\/ON5DX, K\u00fcrt\/ON5DZ, Tim\/ON5HC, Pat\/ON7PQ and Francis\/ON8AZ will be active as TM2U from Saint Marcouf Island between August 23-28th. Activity will be on 80-6 meters (also 60m) using CW, SSB and the Digital modes. QSL via ON8AZ. For more details, see: https:\/\/www.eu081.be<\/p>\n

EU-113<\/strong>. Markus, DJ4EL, will be active as SV8\/DJ4EL from Kythira Island between July 26-30th. Activity will be on 40-10 meters using SSB with quads and vertical antennas. QSL via LoTW or his home callsign.<\/p>\n

NA-134<\/strong>. Bo, OZ1DJJ, will be active as OX3LX from Asiaat Island (WW Loc. GP38NQ), Greenland, between July 7-30th (possibly longer due to the COVIN-19). Activity will be on 40-4 meters. When not active, he will run a WSPR beacon on 160 to 6 meters. He states this is NOT a DXpedition, and the best chance to work him will be around lunchtime and after dinner (his local time UTC-2), also during the weekend, possibly at night\/morning. QSL via OZ0J direct (see QRZ.com). Logs get uploaded to LoTW, ClubLog and sometimes eQSL. He may also go to other islands in the NA-134 group. For more details and updates, watch QRZ.com or his Web page at: http:\/\/geronne.dk\/index.php\/ox3lx\/ox3lx-dxped<\/p>\n

OC-139<\/strong>. Grant, VK5GR, on July 5th, updated the following on his VK5KI Expedition to Kangaroo Island between July 13-18th [edited]: “Preparations are almost complete for the VK5KI mini DXpedition to Kangaroo Island. We are on track to depart Monday week (July 13th) on the Sealink Ferry to the island, part of the South Australia State East Centre IOTA group. Andrew, VK5AKH, and I are preparing to take two stations, the first comprising an Elecraft K3S+KPA500, with the second consisting of an Icom IC7600 and SPE 1.5K-LFA (the amplifier that didnt make it to Tonga). We will have a HexBeam on 20-10m, a dedicated 40m vertical and a multi-band vertical for 160-10m. We will be operating SSB, CW and multiple digital modes, including FT8. We do not expect to run Fox\/Hound mode this trip but stay tuned on the clusters as we could switch over if we are receiving excessive calls.” For more updates\/details, see Grant’s Web page at: https:\/\/vk5gr-iota.net<\/p>\n

OC-228<\/strong>. Andy, VK5MAV, will be active as VK5MAV\/P from West Island or Granite Island, Australia, during the RSGB IOTA Contest (July 25-26th). Activity will be CW only. QSL via ClubLog’s OQRS.<\/p>\n

SA-052<\/strong>. Markus, DJ4EL, will activate two islands in the Suriname SA-092 IOTA group in October: Houttuyn Island – as PZ5GE; between October 11-25th; on 40-10m using SSB; WW Loc. GJ25kr Pagegaaien Island – as PZ5G; between October 16-19th; on 80-10m using CW and SSB; WW Loc. GJ15kv QSL both operations via LoTW or his home callsign.<\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE<\/strong>: Since the Webmasters of the new <www.iota-world.org<\/a>> have decided NOT to post or dedicate a Web page to announce upcoming IOTA operations, PLEASE send your IOTA operations information to the OPDX, and we will post it here in an upcoming bulletin……<\/p>\n
