and WJ2O). They will be active from Mellish Reef (OC-072) on 3-16
November, with four stations around the clock. "One of our goals is
to dedicate a lot of station time to the digital modes,
particularly RTTY", they say. "If conditions are such that the
band(s) are not open for RTTY, we most likely will give JT65/JT9
and FT8 a try". The lower bands (160-30m) are expected to "provide
the best opportunity to work the world during the evening hours",
while 17 and 20 metres will be "the most likely bands to work the
world during the day". The pilot stations will be K4PI (all of the
Americas), V51B (Africa) and ON9CFG (Europe). QSL via Club Log's
OQRS (preferred), LoTW and eQSL; traditional requests via N7QT. The

PIRATES ---> "For more than a year now an Amateur Radio operator has been
pirating the following calls on CW", The Daily DX reported on 17 August. "It
started off with VU2TS, but only on CW. Then he was switching between VU2TS
and 4U1ITU, when the club was using 4U1WRC, again CW only. Next he began
using 5H3PM, CW only. The pirate has now recently switched over to 5H3MG
again CW only. I have confirmed with Tanzania Communications Regulatory
Authority (TCRA) that both 5H3 calls are not currently registered calls. The
signals are clearly coming from Southern Europe".

XF2L ---> The 19-20 August XF2L operation from Isla de Sacrificios (NA-224)
[425DXN 1340] has been cancelled owing to bad weather conditions. The XF2L
team was active from Isla de Lobos (NA-221) on 28 December 2016 and again on
