EP, IRAN (Young Op Looking For Help). OPDX received the following letter
from a young Iranian operator: My name is Abbas, I am 15 years old. I am
from Iran and my callsign is EP3AS. You can view my page on QRZ.com. I'm
very interested in amateur radio, but I don't have a transceiver to do
work on the air. Originally, my father and I made a handmade transceiver,
but now this device has been destroyed. And I am so sad, I do not have the
opportunity to repair it, I do not have radio components. I beg you to
publish my request in your newsletter so that someone will respond to my
request for help and help me to send a gift to a simple amateur radio
station. I am very ashamed to ask for it, but my family and I are very
poor and have no means to buy any transceiver. Here in Iran it is very
expensive. I will never forget your gratitude. I hope and believe that
with your help they will help me..... 73! Sincerely, Abbas

OJ0, MARKET REEF (Press Release by Martti, OH2BH, dated June 6th). [edited]
 NORTHERN VILLAGE, JUNE 06, 2019

 NORTHERN MARKET REEF, THE OJ0-LAND IS CELEBRATING HER 50TH DXCC YEAR
 DXOTICA FROM 1969 TO 2019

 The first ever DXpedition to icy Market Reef landed on December 27th of
1969 and put OJ0MR on the air. The first operators were Sigge, OH0NI (SK),
Martti, OH2BH, Erkki, OH2BW (SK) and Raimo, OH2KK. Soon after the first
operation, the permanent lighthouse keeper Karl-Erik, OJ0MA, also hit the
airwaves. A stream of DXpeditions followed. These later DXpeditions kept
OJ0 a dream location for hundreds and hundreds DXpeditioners, allowing
them to discover the light and become performers within the admired DX-
pedition industry.
 The Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF) had helped OJ0MA become a
household DXer and later a great ham as OH0NA, while later-on, the NCDXF
and OHDXF assisted the Finnish Light House Society (FLS) to restore the
beauty of this remote DX outpost between Aland Islands and Sweden.
 The 2019 season will see many veteran DXpeditioners returning to their
dreamland to provide OJ0 QSOs to those who deserve – the Deserving! Their
return will enable them to once again experience the camaraderie and
friendship only a true DX location can provide. Adding to the crew will
be upcoming OH and SM youngsters!
 The invited guests of the season are: CO8DM, E21EIC, E20NKB, W5XU,
DS4EOI, JH4RHF, JE6HIB, PB2T, DJ9ZB, DL3DXX, DJ4MF, DL5SE, SM0W, SA0LAT
and others. They will be hosted by OH3WS, OH3JR, OH2BH, OH2TA, OG2M,
OH2PM, OH4EA, OH6FSG, OH6LSR, OH6KV, OH6OK, OH6NJ and the younger vintage
of OH2FB, OH1UBO and OH3UAF.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 The activity is in several phases throughout the summer and may even
extend to the hard winter season in order to capture the best low-band
openings. It all starts this Saturday June 8t with OJ0AW and OJ0JR. Next,
following the international week of July 6th, will be OJ0A and OJ0Z. Then
the IARU Contest weekend of July 13-14th with OJ0B and then turning to
Youth Week of OJ0C from July 15th, and IOTA week of July 27th (OJ0DX)
and Light House weekend of August 1st (OJ0O). The OJ0-regulars Pasi,
OH3WS/OJ0W, Henri, OH3JR/OJ0JR; Martti, OH2BH/OJ0BH and Pertti, OG2M/OJ0MR
will take the slots along with their official duties.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 There are twenty-one valid OJ0 licenses. More than 50% are expected to
be active during this year. If you work five of them (5) in 2019, a special
award will be released. If you work ten (10) of them in 2019, you will
qualify for a special award and a symbolic key to the light house. Your
log extract should be submitted to Pasi, OH3WS, the contact person between
the FLS and the global ham fraternity.
 The Aland Islands Postal Administration will also release a special
Market Reef stamp to commemorate Market’s 50th DXCC year for philatelist
community. The special stamp on a Market Reef postcard can be obtained
from the Market Reef Post Office with appropriate stamping at the cost
of 4.00 Euros from Pasi, OH3WS/OJ0W.
 And finally, as the sugar at the bottom, the Aland Island boat captain
Fredrick will provide a day tour to those who want to see this wonderland
and make few contacts on their own from OJ0 on July 10th and July 16th.
Please contact Martti, OH2BH for details at (oh2bh@arrl.net).

 1) They will use normal mode using MSHV running Multi A protocol. So do
 not use Fox/Hound; it is not needed. They will run on the frequency
 listed above in the pileup. If QSO demand is not so high you find them
 on the normal FT8 frequencies.
 2) Occasionally and as an experimental mode, you might be hearing them
 using FT4 for test during the DXpedition.

 following morning on the 30th. There are 18 operators who will be acti-
 vating this rare Pacific Entity. It has been decided there will be two
 operating camps and with the concentration on the low bands that an
 advanced installation crew will be sent prior to the main body of oper-
 ators arriving. Dusko/ZL3WW, Adrian/KO8SCA and Rob/NQ7T have volunteered
 to become the advanced installation crew. It is highly possible that
 ZK3A will become active prior to 2nd October depending on how the set
 up is coming along. The ZK3A licence is valid from 9th May 2019 to 31st
 December 2019.

 * Press Release #3 -- The ZK3A team will be setting up the following
 antennas.

 KO8SCA and Rob/N7QT will be arriving a week early to begin the antenna
 and station set ups. It is anticipated that it will take at least two
 days to set up all the equipment and antennas. Depending on their progress
 it maybe possible that ZK3A is on air earlier than the initial anticipated
 activation date of 2nd October.
