Union (ITU)). QSL via LoTW only.

tion. [TNX LU4AAO]
ON - Special callsign OT5IDPD will be active from 3 November to 3 Decem-
ber for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, whose
annual observance (3 December) was proclaimed by the United Nations
General Assembly in 1992. All operators (Frank ON4AAC, Erik ON4ANN,
Raff ON6IX and Greg ON6YP) will be hams with a disability. QSL via
LoTW and eQSL, or via ON6WL.
ON - Commemorating Remembrance Day, members of UBA section ARA (Actieve

ber. The station will be set up at the Klein Zwaanhof museum. The
special callsign is in memory of Harry Whitelock, killed in action
in the Ypres Salient of World War I (6 August 1917). He was the
grandfather of ARA's good friend Paul Whitelock, G0GMY. QSL via
ON2WAB.
P2 - Team P29RO has been QRV from Loloata Island (OC-240) [425DXN 1635]
since 25 October, and will go QRT around 4 UTC on 9 November. This
is one day earlier than planned, as "the warm and humid climate is
a challenge for central Europeans", and they will need more time
than expected to dismantle the antenna system.
P4 - Jaap, PA7DA will be active holiday style as P40DA from Aruba (SA-
036) on 14-27 November. He will operate FT8 and FT4, "but also SSB
and CW" on 80-10 metres. QSL via home call, direct or via the Dutch
QSL bureau. He does not use Club Log or LoTW. [TNX The Daily DX]
PY - Celebrating the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup to be held in
Qatar, the Liga de Amadores Brasileiros de Radio Emissao's HQ will
be operating special callsign PV22CUP from 19 November to 18 Decem-
ber. QSL via LoTW and eQSL. The FIFA World Cup is a quadrennial in-
ternational football (soccer) tournament contested by the men's na-
tional teams of the member associations of the Federation Interna-
tionale de Football Association.
T33 - Team T33T expects to leave Tarawa (T30) on 5 November. The voyage
will take a couple of days, and they hope to be QRV from Banaba on
7 or 8 November for about ten days. Three operators will be active
on 160-6m. FT8 operations will always be Fox and Hound, and do not
be surprised if you see two signals on the same band (e.g. 14074
and 14090 kHz, or 18100 and 18095 KhZ) at the same time. QSL via
Club Log’s OQRS (direct only); LoTW confirmations will be made on
the same day requests for QSLs are submitted via Club Log. Book-
mark https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup for updates.
T8 - Upon arrival in Palau on 1 November, team T88WA discovered that
their primary operating site had an "intractable S9 noise across
all bands coming from underground cable and telephone wires running
all along the island under the power poles". They surveyed six
other locations, found two that could potentially work and finally
were given permission "to rent some state owned land in far north-
ern Palau" (WWL PJ77hr). They moved all of their equipment to the
new site, and finally T88WA was QRV with the first station on 4
November around 12.15 UTC. The team reports that they are not
completely noise free, though, as they have "a big batch of inter-
ference from 3.550 to 3.800. We'll continue to work to resolve, but
may have to dodge it on 80m". QSL via M0URX, direct or preferably
through his OQRS (https://www.m0urx.com/oqrs/). See qrz.com's entry
for T88WA for band plan and QSLling policy.
VP5 - Mark, WQ7X will be active again as VP5/WQ7X from Providenciales
(NA-002), Turks & Caicos on 5-15 November. He will operate CW and
SSB on 80-10 metres. [TNX DX World]
ZC4 - Assisted by Chris PA2CHR and Jos PA3FYC, Dave G4WXJ, will be active
as ZC4RH from the UK Sovereign Base Area of Dhekelia (WWL KM64ux),
Cyprus on 10-19 November, with a focus on 144 Mhz, 432 MHz and 1296
MHz "EME, Tropo, Meteor Scatter, etc.". QSL via LoTW, Club Log's
OQRS, or via DK6SP.
