3Y0Z ---> "We are happy to announce that our 3Y0Z Bouvet sea container is on
its way home", Bob, K4UEE posted to qrz.com's 3Y0Z page on 10 September. "It
should arrive in Chicago on September 26 then be moved to K9CT's QTH shortly
thereafter. All associated costs have been paid. Craig K9CT says he will get
all the loaned items/equipment back to our sponsors quickly and those
shipping costs will then be paid.
From my perspective, we will then have all the expenses paid and can
determine the amount of refund available to DX Clubs, DX Foundations,
individual supporters and our team.
As previously mentioned, there will be several options available for
everyone to consider when deciding what to do with their refund. PLS QRX!"

RI0B --- > Owing to an incoming storm, the RI0B had to change their plans.
They landed on Tyrtov Island (AS-121) and were QRV on 10-12 September while
waiting for the storm to subside. Then they set sail to the Firnley Islands
(AS-054), and started operations on 13 September. Plans are to be QRV until
the 15th, and to leave the island on 16 September. Their next destination is
Nansen Island (AS-104). QSL via Club Log's OQRS; the direct links can be
found on https://www.qrz.com/db/ri0b.

Affiliated club to the Wireless Institute of Australia. It welcomes
