August | KH5: Jarvis Island (OC-081) KH5 - The Dateline DX Association and George, AA7JV have announced that permission has been received from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice for a 13-day DXpedition to Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge starting around 1 August. Jarvis Island (OC-081) is ranked #18 on Club Log's global Most Wanted List (#9 in Europe) and was last on the air in 1990. Permission to visit has been difficult to obtain: 'we have worked very hard for the past few years on this permission, and after demonstrating the success of the RIB concept with remote operators from various locations in 2023, we have received a permit that allows 4 operators on the boat to visit Jarvis with 6 stations on land'. The on-site team - namely George (AA7JV), Don (N1DG), Tomi (HA7RY) and Mike (KN4EEI) - will install 6 RIB (Radio In a Box) stations on the island, and will operate CW, SSB and FT8 (F/H) on 160-6 metres. They will be accompanied by a team of three USFWS biologists con- ducting science. In addition, 25 remote operators from Asia, Europe and North America will be running CW and FT8. Details are expected in due course.

26/08-05/09 | CY9C: St. Paul Island (NA-094) CY9C ---> Planning continues to go well for the DXpedition to St. Paul Island (NA-094) [425DXN 1700], which is scheduled for 26 August-5 September. The team (K4ZLE, K9CT, K9NW, N2IEN, N2TU, W0GJ, W0PR, W4DKS, WA4DAN and WW2DX) will be active on 160-6 metres, including satellite and EME. The main island is off-limits, and all operations will be from the smaller Northeast Island. As there are no dock or landing area for a boat, the team plans to employ two helicopters, one to be deployed before the DXpedition to trans- port the heavier items to the island. The cost for this DXpedition is very significant and donations are welcome: see https://t-rexsoftware.com/cy9c/ for information.

January 2025 | 3Y0K: Bouvet Island (AN-002) 3Y0K: BOUVET ISLAND 2025 ---> Ken, LA7GIA reports that plans for the January 2025 trip are firm and all necessary contracts, including the vessel, logistics, and landing contracts, have been secured. 3Y0K is the only group with a valid DXpedition license for that period. The fundraising is encountering some challenges, though, particularly with major US clubs. To ensure the success of the DXpedition, the following decisions have been taken: the vessel inspection and deposit have been postponed until May; all purchases have been postponed until May; the remote RIB operation has been cancelled (a 7-man team will operate on the island with six radios and amplifiers); the budget has been reduced to the bare minimum of USD 400,000. However, the team still needs a minimum of $85,000 to make it to the island: https://3y0k.com/#supportus. Bouvet is the top priority: if the operation is postponed or cancelled due to insufficient donations, the 2026 DXpedition to Peter I will be similarly affected. A decision will be made in May based on the funds raised during March and April.
