active as FO/W6NV from Tahiti in July. He states that he will arrive in
Tahiti on July 18th, and plans to operate with a Butternut vertical on
80-10 meters. In Tahiti he has a garden cottage to operate from that
may be a candidate for a beam antenna installation suitable for a future
operation in a CQWW or ARRL DX Contest. Operation will be mostly CW, and
he suggests to look for him on 20/40/80m at his sunrise and sunset. He
will travel to Raivavae Island (OC-114) on July 22nd, and plans to be

someone willing to donate a used, modest HF radio. Their goal is to allow
Alberto, HC1DAZ, teach local residents how to operate and obtain an Ecua-
dorian license and promote the hobby in this very isolated area of the
countryside, HC7. For more details on how to help, see QRZ.com under

NA-085. Bruce, K5TEN, will once again activate Dog Island (WW. Loc
EL79) using the callsign K4D between June 2-13th. Dog Island,
Florida, is an extremely rare IOTA because access is controlled

the island, and the only activations have been done by Bruce
over the last 5 years. Access is by permission only and per-
mission by one of the homeowners. It is only accessible by
private charter or single engine fixed wing aircraft. The
airstrip is overgrown so private charter is the only real
choice. There are no streets, roads, stop signs, trendy cafes,
or beach-front bars. If you need it, you bring it. Activity
will be on 40-6 meters primarily on SSB and FT8 Digital mode
using 100 watts an ICOM 7100 into an off center fed dipole.
Bruce will be checking 10m and 6m often for Sporadic E. Look
for him during daylight USA on 15 and 20 meters, nighttime
30 and 40m. He will also be active during the ARRL June VHF
Contest. In the past, suggested frequencies are:
SSB - 7180, 14235, 18115, 21275, 24940 and 28310 kHz
CW - 7029, 10110, 14029, 18077, 21029, 24930 and 28010 kHz
QSL via K5TEN, SASE REQUIRED for stateside and DX (DX 2 USDs
REQUIRED). Also, QSL via LoTW, eQSL and ClubLog.

activate Sledge Island as KL7RRC/P. Operators Mike/AD5A, Yuri/
UA9OBA and Yuri/N3QQ are planning their activity around August
25th and September 3rd, but it is subject to obtaining per-
missions from US FWS and USCG. Operations will be on 40-6 meters
using CW, SSB and FT8, with possibly 2-3 stations. FT8 will be
on 24/7 as a beacon on two bands F/H mode. QSL via N7RO or
ClubLog (will be uploaded after the expedition). Look for
more details to be forthcoming. Also watch QRZ.com.
OC-059. (Update) Haru, JA1XGI, will be active as V6K (it is official)

NCDXF NEWS (Press Release, dated April 25th). NCDXF awards grant to
Perseverance DX Group's 2020 South Orkney DXpedition -- The Northern
California DX Foundation is pleased to announce it will be a major con-
tributor to the Perseverance DX Group’s VP8O South Orkney DXpedition
planned for February/March 2020. South Orkney Island is currently #16
on the ClubLog Most Wanted List.
Since 2016, NCDXF-supported DXpeditions activated five of the ten most-
needed entities. NCDXF-funded DXpeditions in this time put well over 1
million QSOs into DXers' logs!
https://sorkney.com/ has details of the 2020 South Orkney Island
DXpedition.
DXpeditions to rare entities like South Orkney Island that are so remote
are becoming more expensive, a trend that we believe will continue.
NCDXF's primary purpose is to help fund well-organized DXpeditions to
desirable DXCC entities like South Orkney Island. During the last 47
years, NCDXF has granted nearly $1.2 million to hundreds of DXpeditions
helping to put an "all-time-new-one" (ATNO) in the log and make DX
happen for thousands of DXers worldwide. The credit for these large grants
goes to the NCDXF contributors, individuals and clubs who support the DX
community. Without those contributions, DXpeditions to entities like
Bouvet or other desirable locations would not be possible.
If you agree with the importance of NCDXF's work, and if you are not
a current contributor, we hope you will become one today by clicking here.
http://www.ncdxf.org
Your contribution will continue to help make DX happen. You can also
support future DXpeditions by including the NCDXF Cycle 25 Fund in your
estate plan.
We wish the Perseverance DX Group a safe and very successful trip to
South Orkney Island next year.

VP8/O SOUTH ORKNEY ISLAND DXPEDITION (Special Press Release, dated April
25th)[edited]. -- South Orkney Islands DX-pedition (AN-008): We are honored
to have received the Northern California DX Foundation’s (NCDXF) support for
our South Orkney Islands DXpedition, scheduled for February/March, 2020.
On April 23, 2019, we were notified by the NCDXF Board of Directors that
a significant grant was approved for our project. With the cost of ships,
fuel, and freight continuing to rise the future of major DXpeditions rests
in the hands of the worldwide DX community. NCDXF has a long history of
enabling DXpeditions to rare and/or difficult to activate entities.
NCDXF has supported Perseverance DX Group projects since our inception
in 2014. We appreciate the Foundation’s generosity and their confidence
in our project team and plans.
