SV2RSG/A ---> Bart Jahnke, W9JJ (ARRL Radiosport and Field Services Manager)
announced on 7 November that "operations by SV2RSG/A (if from Mount Athos
must identify '/A') are accepted by ARRL DXCC. While SV2RSG/A isn't yet in
LoTW, we will be happy to help assist with setting that up if Monk Iakovos
would like assistance (this assumes logging is or can be put into electronic
Cabrillo or ADI formats)". [TNX The Daily DX]

VP6R ---> The DXpedition to Pitcairn Island went QRT on 1 November at 18
UTC. According to the latest update on Club Log, 82700 QSOs were made with
20491 callsigns from North America (52%), Asia (22,2%), Europe (20,7%) and
the rest of the world (5%). The most productive bands were 20m (17099 QSOs),
15m (14421), 17m (11653) and 40m (11106); the most productive mode was CW
(34208 QSOs), followed by FT8 (25505) and SSB (22933). Some FT8 QSOs are
still not online, though: when the team gets home, there will be a final
upload, and Club Log's OQRS will be activated. QSLing details can be found
on https://pitcairndx.com/qsling/. Eventually the entire log will be
uploaded to LOTW. While on the island, the team helped two local hams get
back on the air: Meralda, VP6MW has a new vertical for 40, 30 and 15m, and
is set up now to operate FT8; Mike, VP6AZ has a repaired vertical and new
beam.

VP8/VP8DXU ---> During the week of 21-27 October team members and helpers
met in Placerville and Los Altos Hills, California to consolidate, assemble,
test, and prepare the equipment for transport to Punta Arenas (Chile) and
eventually to the South Orkney Islands. Antennas were assembled, tuned,
tested and marked for easy transport and reassembly. All software was loaded
on laptops, QSOs were entered into N1MM and test logs were uploaded to their
log search server over the Inmarsat BGAN satellite network. Photos of the
week are posted at: https://sorkney.com/equipment-consolidation-week/

+ SILENT KEYS + Both Paul H. Newberry, Jr., N4PN and Toivo Lamitainen (Ana-
toly Petrovich Repin), R1CC became Silent Key on 5 November.
Paul, who had turned 82 on 1 November, passed away suddenly from a heart
attack. First licensed in 1953 as WN4YWX, he was a well-known DXer and
contester, and participated in several DXpeditions - the 1979 VP2KC CQ WW DX
SSB Contest DXpedition to St. Kitts, which broke the world record for the
Multi-Multi category; the 1999 Hillview Gardens Borneo DXpedition (9M6AAC,
V85OO and 9M6OO from the Spratly Islands); the 2009 K4M DXpedition to Midway
Island and the 2013 C82DX DXpedition to Mozambique, just to name a few.
Toivo died in a tragic accident while in Israel. He was last heard on the
bands as 4X/R1CC just a few days ago. An Ingrian Finn, he was born in 1940
in Leningrad, and was first licensed in 1957 as UW1BF. Over the years he was
active from Magadan (UV0IA) and Moscow (UA3AEL, RA3AR, R3AR), as well as
from Finland (OH1UU and OG1G).
