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

NA-004<\/strong>. (Update\/Change on K6VVA\/KL7 QRX’d) — “After much serious deliberation of multiple factors, I have made a strategic decision to QRX my scheduled NA-004 activation until late
\nSpring or early Summer 2019.<\/p>\n

The sub-freezing temperatures during mostly dark hours now in this 70+ Degrees North Latitude Polar Bear part of KL7 are not friendly to outside antenna repairs in the event of un-foreseen problems.<\/p>\n

And since propagation from NA-004 this month will be mostly on 40m, I also believe too many Little Pistol IOTA Chaser QSOs would not happen without availability of 20m as the primary band to all Geo-Areas.<\/p>\n

I am not looking forward to canceling all my plane flights, but believe this temporary QRX will benefit more of those who need NA-004 when the activation is rescheduled.
\nThis is a (QRX) postponement, and NOT a cancellation !!!

OC-093<\/strong>. Operators Audie\/DU1ZDR and Gazelle\/DU1ZDQ will be active as
\nDZ1A\/DU2 from Basco Batanes, Batanes Islands, between November 19-20th. They suggest to listen for them on 7055 and 14260 kHz. QSL via their home callsign.<\/p>\n

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