E3 - While the 19-29 May E31A operation from Asmara will be conducted as
scheduled [425DXN 1356], the E39DI activity from IOTA group AF-038
has been postponed. "Our E3 DXpedition Team will go to Dahlak
Archipelago as planned", JA1NRH reports, "but the stay there will
be shortened due to a strong suggestion by the Eritrean Government.
Hence, very unfortunately, we may not have sufficient time to
operate from there this time. Instead we will do research on how we
can operate next time, most probably in the fall of this year,
studying the terrain, facilities available, accessibility and so
on. We also hope the condition will become better in the autumn".

3Y0Z: BOUVET 2018 ---> "We have found an alternate vessel that eliminates
the repositioning costs and at the same time adds additional margins of
safety for our team", the Bouvet Island DXpedition team (3Y0Z) announced on
5 May. "Our departure will be approximately mid-January, 2018, possibly
sailing to Bouvet from King George Island. We expect 9-11 day voyage to
Bouvet. When the weather allows, we will land on the island by helicopter.
Our first priority will be to inspect the terrain, select a site clear of
crevasses and establish our shelters stocked with emergency supplies. Once
secured, we will bring the rest of our equipment ashore and commence radio
operations as soon as possible. We expect to be at Bouvet for 21 days, and
allowing for weather, hope to be on the air for 14-16 days". You can read
the full story in Press Release #5 on the News and Updates page on the
DXpedition's website (http://www.bouvetdx.org/). "This is likely the most
expensive DXpedition ever attempted and the operating team has committed to
fund up to 50% of the costs. We are hopeful the DX community will fund the
remainder. You may follow our planning progress and see our fund-raisings
results on our website".
DXCC REINSTATEMENT OF MIDWAY AND KURE ISLANDS ---> On 31 March the ARRL
announced that Midway and Kure Islands had been placed on the list of DXCC
deleted entities [425DXN 1353]. "The stated reason for this action", the
ARRL reported on 11 May, "was because of changes in the administration
resulting from changes in Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument", which
includes Midway and Kure. "After further review it has been found that the
deletion of these two entities is not supported by the changes that were
made to the relevant administrations. Therefore, the deletions from the DXCC
list should not have occurred and the two entities, Midway Island KH4 and
Kure Island KH7K, will return to the DXCC list as separate entities". See
http://www.arrl.org/news/midway-and-kure-islands-reinstated-as-dxcc-entities
"NEW" BARC ADMITTED TO IARU MEMBERSHIP ---> The member-societies of the
International Amateur Radio Union have approved a proposal to admit the
Belize Amateur Radio Club (http://barc.bz), a new representative of the
Radio amateurs of Belize, to IARU membership. Belize previously was
represented in the IARU by another organization of the same name. Once the
IARU Administrative Council determined that this earlier organization no
longer existed, IARU Region 2 accepted an application for membership from
the new BARC and confirmed that it satisfied the requirements of the IARU
Constitution and Bylaws. The officers of BARC are Emil Rodriguez V31ER
(President), Dr. Andre T. Scholz V31DL (Vice President and IARU Liaison) and
Steven Harp V31SH (Secretary). There are now 167 IARU member-societies in as
many countries and separate territories. [TNX IARU Region 2]
QSL RP72 ---> The QSL routes and locations for the 170 RP72 stations that
participated in the "Pobeda 72" Memorial (5-9 May) [425DXN 1357] can be
found at http://pobeda.srr.ru/stations/.
