| 28/08-25/09 | A35JP: Tongatapu Island (OC-049) A3 - Masa, JA0RQV (https://blog.goo.ne.jp/rqv) has rescheduled his A35JP
operation from Tonga [425DXN 1623] to include activity from a
couple of rare IOTA groups. Current plans (which might change 'due
to unstable situation in Tonga') are as follows:
10-16 July A35JP/p Niuatoputapu Island (OC-191)
07-20 August A35JP/p Niuafo'ou Island (OC-123)
28 August-25 September A35JP Tongatapu Island (OC-049)
'Since there is no commercial power available' on the first two
islands, he says, operations could be 'quite limited in terms of
output power as well as time' spent on the air. QSL via LoTW, Club
Log's OQRS, or via the bureau to JA0RQV.

source', he says). QSL via EA5GL and LoTW.

| October-November | CY0S: Sable Island (NA-063) CY0S --- > The 2022 Sable Island DXpedition has launched its new website:
www.cy0s.com (still a work in progress, new information will be added almost
daily). Formal written permission has been granted for a 8-9 day DXpedition
in October-November. 'Planning continues to go very well', with K4UEE, W4DKS
and W0GJ taking care of the antenna system. 'Even though Sable Island is 42
km long, space is very limited within the Sable Station compound. The Sable
horses, which number over 500, have free run of the island, except for the
area around the Sable Station, which is fenced in. The DXpedition team has a
relatively small footprint to work with. Additionally, no antennas can be
placed on or near the beach as Sable Island is home to tens of thousands of
grey seals'.

| December-March | Crozet Islands * by F6CUK CROZET 2022-23 ---> Thierry, F6CUK reports that 'dates are now known' for
his activity from Crozet [425DXN 1603]. 'The 'Marion Dufresne' will leave
Reunion Island on 8 December, with a stopover at Tromelin to resupply the
people there, then bound for Crozet. I should get there around Christmas.
The ship will come back on 26 March 2023 to pick us up, and after stopovers
at Kerguelen and Amsterdam, arrive at Reunion on 16 April 2023. Therefore,
I will be on Alfred Faure base for a solid three months. These dates may
vary slightly depending on weather conditions'.
Thierry has requested a special callsign to commemorate the 60th anniversary
of the first amateur radio activity from Crozet, conducted by Roger Baude-
lot, FB8WW, between December 1961 and February 1962. Thierry's callsign will
be announced by F6EXV and F6AJA 'only a few hours before the start of the
activity'. See http://crozet2022.r-e-f.org/blog.html for the complete press
release.

| TBA 2022 | ZL9: Campbell Island (OC-037) VP8PJ: FINAL PRESS RELEASE ---> 'We have closed the books on the VP8PJ DX-
pedition to the South Orkney Islands (AN-008)', the Leadership Team an-
nounced on 13 September. 'Due to the global pandemic our equipment was re-
turned to California about two months later than planned. Nothing was
missing or damaged during the extended journey. Thanks to the worldwide
clubs/foundations, the DX community and our corporate sponsors, the project
met all operational and financial goals. We appreciate the continued support
from the DX community.
Consistent with our commitment to upload the complete VP8PJ log to LoTW six
months following the DXpedition, Tim M0URX will upload the complete log on
15 September.
Planning for our next project [ZL9 New Zealand Sub Antarctic Islands, 425DXN
1515] is underway. Exact timing will depend on lifting of the global travel
restrictions, issuance of the landing permit and ship scheduling, early 2022
is the plan'. [TNX K5GS]

| January 2023 | 3Y0J: Bouvet Island 3Y0J: LATEST NEWS ---> The 2023 Bouvet Island DXpedition team leaders posted
their Press Release #10 on 3 June.
'In late April we successfully conducted a 4-day vessel inspection in Brazil
that ended with a very good result. The inspection was carried out by a 3rd
party vessel inspector and covered more than 105 checkpoints. The vessel
inspection focused on safety equipment, instruments, navigation, engines/
machinery, deck, tenders, fuel & fluids, interior, and exterior. 'Marama' is
in very good condition and hence the overall feedback is positive. The
vessel went through significant upgrades with regards to machinery and
engines in 2021 and has since been tested for years, most lately during the
previous Antarctica season. The inspection file resulted in a punch list of
only a few minor items to be followed up, no major findings during the 4-day
inspection.
The team is currently working on the final preparations for packing the
container scheduled to be shipped from Oslo in early September. Preparing
the packing and shipping the container is extremely time consuming and
requires a focus on details as our more than two years of work now is being
materialized into packing lists and labelling the equipment. Today we have
finally decided our container will be shipped to Port Stanley, Falkland
Islands. In Port Stanley a local team of ham radio operators will assist us
in receiving the container, conduct a container inspection and make sure all
is OK before the team arrive in early January. To Bouvet the team will bring
6500 kg of equipment, which includes several tons of fuel and food. Our
contract allows for 22 days on the island, but we have food for 30 days and
a plan for rationing should we have to stay beyond 22 days.
At this stage all the operators have already paid their full deposit of
their individual $20,000 operator fee. This is your insurance that we will
do whatever we can to make this DXpedition a success. In a few weeks we will
pay our 2nd vessel deposit to 'Marama'. Ultimately this represents a huge
undertaking for us financially as well a commitment to go to Bouvet and
activate the rare #2 DXCC Bouvet Island. With all the preparation and
planning over the course of the last two years you can rely on our
commitment and our determination to go onshore Bouvet in a zodiac seven
months from now.
Going to Bouvet would simply not be possible without the support from the
vendors, clubs, foundations, and individual sponsors. June 1st, we completed
our budget update, and this shows we're still missing roughly $100,000 out
of our $690,000 budget to be able to go to Bouvet. As we now prepare for the
next vessel deposit, we need your support to close the gap. Please consider
supporting us by donating upfront.
You can follow our plans from our website (https://www.3y0j.no/) and the
3Y0J Facebook pages (https://www.facebook.com/groups/3093983840726129)'.

at Port-aux-Francais, Kerguelen Islands, until December 2022. 'I'm
a total newbie at ham radio', he says, and 'I do not know if I will
succeed to establish radio contacts, but I remain optimistic'.
Thierry, F6CUK is in touch with him, and confirms he is '100% le-
gitimate' but 'not QRV yet (too busy for work)'. Arthur is equipped
to run 20 watts to a vertical antenna. QSL via F6EXV, and LoTW

| March 2023 | W8S: Swains Island W8S: SWAINS ISLAND 2023 ---> 'This week the W8S team had another conference
call about the planning for the upcoming DXpedition to KH8/s Swains Island',
Ronald PA3EWP wrote on 4 November. 'Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, it
will remain impossible to travel to American Samoa in the coming months.
The limited number of flights, only 5 the first quarter of 2022, from Hawaii
to American Samoa with the additional restriction to do a Covid-19 test 5
days before departure in Hawaii makes travelling extreme difficult. Also
tourists have a lower priority to buy a ticket.
The risk is too great to travel to Swains in the spring of 2022.
Two members of our team are also part of the 3Y0J Bouvet team scheduled for
November/December 2022.
The entire team therefore had to decide to postpone the W8S Swains DXpedi-
tion until March 2023. This is the only opportunity to be on Swains for 15
days with the same team as our original plans in 2020.
Our project has certainly not been canceled but postponed to the spring of
2023. An extra advantage that the propagation is much better on the higher
bands'. Updates will be posted to https://swains2020.lldxt.eu/, as well as
to Twitter and Facebook.
