lowest land-based elevation on Earth (440 metres below sea level),
from 30 May to 3 June. QSL via LoTW, eQSL, or via 4Z5TT. A certifi-
cate will be available, see https://www.qrz.com/db/4X2DS for more

Kapas Island (AS-073), West Malaysia from 31 May to 2 June. They
will operate SSB, CW and digital modes on 80-10 metres. Updates
will be posted to https://www.facebook.com/kldxteam/.
DL - The Berlin Airlift was an operation that carried supplies by plane
to the Allied sectors of West Berlin over a Russian blockade. For
more than a year, hundreds of American, British and French cargo
planes ferried provisions to West Berlin's Tempelhof, Gatow and
Tegel airfields. Commemorating the 75th anniversary of the end of
the Berlin Airlift, three special event stations will be active
between 12 May and 24 June: DL0GWW for Gatow, DL0TXL for Tegel, and
DL0THF for Tempelhof. QSL via LoTW, QRZ Logbook, and the DARC
Community Logbook; paper cards will not be provided, but an award

EA - Depending on weather and seas conditions, a three-man team (Henry
EA5EOR, Ilde EA5HEU, and Christian EA3NT) will be active as EG5MI
from Penyeta del Moro (EU-151) on 25 May. They will place a wooden
platform on the rocks on 24 May at about 16 UTC, and return on 25
May at about 4 UTC, hoping to be QRV as soon as possible. "We don't
discard to start same Friday 24th evening with a very lightweight
setup (one car battery)", Christian says, "and run for a couple of
hours to try to get advantage of the greyline and give a chance to
the West Coast". Most likely they will be QRV on 20, 17, 40 and 6m
CW, SSB and FT8. If he gets enough subscribers to his YouTube chan-
nel (http://www.youtube.com/@EA3NT), Christian will try and broad-
cast live the landing attempt. Penyeta del Moro is a rocky islet of
almost 2 metres in width and 6 metres in length; an iron lighthouse
of about 5m in height was placed there in 1861. QSL via EA5GL.
F - Members of the Association des radioamateurs de l'Indre will be
active as TM36JO on 27 May, as the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay

ARRL SYSTEMS SERVICE DISRUPTION ---> "We are in the process of responding to
a serious incident involving access to our network and headquarters-based
systems", the ARRL notified on 16 May. "Several services, such as Logbook of
The World (LoTW) and the ARRL Learning Center, are affected. Please know
that restoring access is our highest priority, and we are expeditiously
working with outside industry experts to address the issue. We appreciate
your patience. This story will be updated with new developments" (see
https://www.arrl.org/).

CY9C: ST PAUL ISLAND ---> The Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans
has issued the written permit for the CY9C DXpedition to St Paul Island (26
August-5 September), and the ARRL has pre-approved the DXpedition for DXCC
credit. The permit is for the small Northeast Island, as the main island is
now under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Wildlife Service.
A 24-foot vehicle has been rented and reserved for early August to transport
a lot of the gear to Dingwall (Nova Scotia), which will be the base for all
pre-DXpedition activities. The team will use two helicopters and a boat to
transport the operators and the equipment to the island.
Beginning on 26 May, a week long work session for CY9C will take place in
North Carolina. Team members W0GJ, W0PR and WA4DAN will meet up and go
through and inventory all of the DXpedition gear. The plan is to erect the
new operating tents, test and run the seven new generators, assemble and
test antennas and inventory all of the coaxial cables.
"The team is very grateful to all the clubs and individuals who have joined
our efforts. Additional support is encouraged and can be made through
https://t-rexsoftware.com/cy9c".
