the past several weeks (probably because of many COVID-19 travel restric-
tions), OPDX decided to list the following IOTA operations that were
active this past week between July 5-11th (as per the DXCluster):

upcoming VK5KI Expedition to Kangaroo Island between July
13-18th [edited]: "Final preparations for the VK5KI expedition
are complete. We have confirmed with the owner and the weather
for the ferry crossing looks excellent. With luck we will have
fine weather in the afternoon and get all of the antennas up
tomorrow. If all goes well we should appear on air, most likely
on 40m first sometime tomorrow night our time. Watch the DX
Clusters and out Clublog live feed for details." For more
updates/details, see Grant's Web page at: https://vk5gr-iota.net
OC-228. Andy, VK5MAV, reported on July 8th, that he is completely
disappointed with the position of the Department of Nature
for South Australia, which manages/controls access to the south
Australian islands. However, Andy stated that he has "only one
last option - very light, time and conditions limited, no night
activity from Granite Island." So during this past weekend (on
July 12th), Andy planned to do a test visit on Granite Island
sometime between 0100-0600z on 20/15 meters using CW with 100
watts into a GP and on battery power. He hopes to give someone
a new island contact. Remember, Andy plans to activate Granite
Island as VK5MAV/p for the RSGB IOTA Contest (July 25-26th).
Activity will be CW only. QSL via ClubLog's OQRS.
NEW FLASH: Just before going to print, Andy sent out the
following on July 12th, 8:02 AM (EDT): "If you tried to contact
me but with no success - it's still a hope. If the weather will
let me - I will try again next Saturday or Sunday. Participation
in IOTA Contest would be pointless as today's activity demon-
strated. My signal was very weak with such setup, especially
during daytime.
But in general - it was sad event. 7 hours, 150 approximately
QSO - not important (for me, but for someone who has got a new
island - completely different:-)) Tomorrow I will upload the
log to ClubLog and IOTA Committee. As already written - there
will be no cards. Well, if anyone needs it badly - my usual
card with a sticker.
However, I didn't expect anything else, GP 20/15, 'radials' -
copper wire into the water. 100 watts, battery powered. No tent,
no shelter, no normal table/chair. The toilet is far away. Ward
tea - in a thermos brought by me. Temp was + 12, windy with
drizzle. I was lucky at least the rain did not happen. That's
it for now, folks :-) .... Cheers. Andy VK5MAV."
ADDED NOTE ABOUT THE RSGB CONTEST (July 25-26th): Per the RSGB Contest
Committee, the IOTA Contest this year is exclusively for Single-Operators
using their home stations, and only "Single Operator Fixed Island"
stations and "Single Operator Fixed World" stations will be eligible
to enter. Full details of the IOTA Contest, including the rules, can
be obtained from the RSGB at:
https://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2020/riota.shtml
PLEASE NOTE: Since the Webmasters of the new have
decided NOT to post or dedicate a Web page to announce upcoming IOTA
operations, PLEASE send your IOTA operations information to the OPDX,
and we will post it here in an upcoming bulletin......
JW, SVALBARD. Erwann, LB1QI, will be active as JW/LB1QI from the JW5E
club station (www.jw5e.com) in Lonyearbyen, Spitsbergen Island, Svalbard
(EU-026), between September 24-27th. Activity will be on 160-6 meters
using CW and SSB, with a Yaesu FT857d and a JUMA PA1000 Amplifier. QSL
via LB1QI, direct, by the Bureau, LoTW or ClubLog.
KH4, MIDWAY ISLAND. Ron, KH6DV, posted the following on July 9th, on
QRZ.com: We've all seen the latest pandemic news. It's not progressing
in a good direction or anything like the earlier predictions. The U.S.
now has 132,000 deaths and the forecast is for 200,00 by November. We
have encountered a strong and understandable push-back related to the
original date of October 2020. Once there was possibility of moving the
operation to the second half of February 2021, the conversation turned
more positive. The application for the Special Use Permit for Midway
has now been edited and now proposes a period of the second half of
February 2021 and will be submitted this week.
Two things now need to happen:
1. We need more operator interest.
2. We need more donations to the expedition PayPal page.
(KH6VV@outlook.com)
KH9, WAKE ISLAND. Randy, WW6RG, informed OPDX of the following an hour
after last week's bulletin went out [edited]: "Right now due to the Covid19
restrictions, operations on Kwajalein Atoll (V73) will not be happening
this month. Or for the foreseeable future. My latest schedule has me
stopping in Kwajalein then continuing on to KH9 Wake Island on July 14th.
(All times and dates GMT) I hope to be setup and on the air sometime
around 0400z and operate until 0730z with a short break for dinner around
0500z. I will be operating QRP 5w, 20 meters, SSB." QSL via his home
callsign WW6RG. PLEASE NOTE: Randy informs that he has no means of communi-
cation from Wake Island, and if there is a flight delay or cancelation
he will not be able to inform us.

PA75, THE NETHERLANDS (Special Event). Dutch special event station PA75WSN
will be active until the end of the year. It was 75 years ago that the
allied forces liberated The Netherlands from the Nazi regime, ending the
second World War five years after it started. The southern part of The
Netherlands was liberated in the autumn of 1944, while the northern part
was only liberated in the spring of 1945. On May 4, 1945, the German
forces formally capitulated to the British Field Marshall Montgomery.
The capitulation was effective the next day. The village Wassenaar also
was liberated in May 1945. Their QSL card pictures the residents welcoming
the Canadian soldiers after liberation the village of Wassenaar. Activity
will be on various HF and UHF bands using SSB and the Digital modes. QSL
via the Bureau or direct (see QRZ.com).
PI75, THE NETHERLANDS (Special Event). Look for special event station
PI75VERON (Vereniging voor Experimenteel Radio Onderzoek in Nederland)

YASME NEWS (Press Release, date July 9th). YASME FOUNDATION SUPPORTING
GRANT TO EXPAND THE REVERSE BEACON NETWORK (RBN) -- The Yasme Foundation
has allocated funds to purchase equipment needed to add fifteen (15)
nodes to the Reverse Beacon Network. These new nodes will be added in
regions where there is a need for reception reports to support amateur
radio operation and where those reports will also have scientific value
for geophysical research.
Yasme was assisted in this effort by supporting grants from the Amateur
Radio Digital Communications team (www.ampr.org) and by scientific advice
from the HamSCI (hamsci.org) researchers. Information on the node loca-
tions will be available after a final list of hosts is available.

The Yasme Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation organized to
support scientific and educational projects related to amateur radio,
including DXing (long distance communication) and the introduction and
promotion of amateur radio in developing countries. For additional infor-
mation about The Yasme Foundation, visit our website at (www.yasme.org).
