KO4PZT, holds the callsign 7P8NB. QSL 7P8AB via KW4XJ, direct or by the
Bureau. QSL 7P8NB via KO4PZT, direct or by the Bureau.

callsign 7R19MG on different modes or on different bands. The diploma
for download will be available on July 6th, 2022.

A3, TONGA (Update/Change). Masa, JA0RQV, has announced the following on
QRZ.com [edited]: "My travel schedule in Tonga will be changed .... due
to the unstable operations of the domestic flights. The latest schedule
might be like below:
 Term-1: From July 10-16th, 2022; callsign A35JP/P (QTH: Niuatoputapu
 Island (OC-191))
 Term-2: From August 7-20th, 2022; callsign A35JP/P (QTH: Niuafo'ou
 Island (OC-123))
 Term-3: From August 28th to September 25th, 2022; callsign A35JP
 (QTH: Nuku'alofa, Tongatapu Island (OC-049))
 Since there is no commercial power available in the island on Term-1
and Term-2, it will be a quite limited operation in terms of output power
as well as time. I apologize in advance for the very weak signal and short
time QRV!"
 Remember activity will be on 80-6 meters using CW, SSB and FT8. Equipment
is an IC-7300 w/100W into a Vertical antenna. QSL via LoTW and ClubLog,
or direct w/2 USDs or by the Bureau via his home callsign JA0RQV. He
states, "If you need paper QSL, please be patient to receive it because
I will be able to issue paper QSL after I return to Japan in October 2022.
Please do not send SASE to my home address." He also mentions, "Sorry but
I can not activate any outer islands this time such as Niuatoputapu
(OC-191), Niuafo'ou (OC-123), Vava'u (OC-064) and Ha'apai (OC-169) due
to restriction of transportation of COVID19." For more details and
updates, visit his QRZ.com or his Blog page at: http://blog.goo.ne.jp/rqv

FO, FRENCH POLNESIA. Barry, KD6XU, is currently sailing around the French
Polynesia Islands, and is active as FO/KD6XU from Nuka Hiva, Fatu Hiva,
and Marquesas Islands. Reports indicate that he will soon be heading to
Tuamotu and the Society Islands. Activity will be on 40-12 meters using
CW mainly. Cezar, VE3LYC, who has been in contact with Barry, reports
the following: "I exchanged some messages with Barry, KD6XU, and he in-
dicated that all his operations from various atolls in FO have been and
will be from his yacht, at anchor. He didn't know about the IOTA program
(how was that possible, hi), and as such he never indicated any of our
references. I very briefly explained to him what IOTA is all about, and
mentioned that operations from a boat at anchor won't count toward IOTA
credits. He understood, and indicated that in case he will have any land
based activity he will let the community and us know." There is a 21 min.

 ** Thanks to the individuals who put the island/group and mode
 (which is very important) on their QSNs on their PacketCluster
 reports. The format we suggest is "Mode/IOTA#/Island or Group"
 (ex. CW/SA-036/Aruba).

 EU-120. Members of the Newbury and District Amateur Radio Society
 (NADARS) will once again be active as G5XV from Isle of Wight
 during the RSGB IOTA Contest (July 30-31st), as a Multi-2/
 Island-DXpedition/Mixed-Mode/24-Hrs/High-Power entry. Operators
 mentioned are George/2E0FEC, Carl/G0KPE, David/G3KLH, John/G3VPW,
 Richard/G3ZGC, Rob/G4LMW and Colin/M0DDT. QSL via M0OXO.

 EU-147. Members of the RI1KO team are planning to operate from Kondostrov
 Island (RDA KL-08, RRA RR-02-01, WW Loc. KP84hf) between July
 27th and August 3rd. Operators mentioned are Mike/R1MJ, Julia/
 R1CBL, Yaroslav/R1BET, Dmitry and Vovan. Activity will be on
 80/40/20/15/10 meters using CW, SSB and FT8/FT4. Due to a RSGB
 decision, they will not take part during the IOTA Contest! QSL
 via R1BET, LoTW and ClubLog.

 NA-070. (Commemorative IOTA Expedition) Members of the KL7RRC team
 who tried unsuccessfully to activate rare Kiska Island (NA-070)
 the past two years are hoping their third attempt in July will
 be the charm. In 2020, it was Covid-19 that forced cancellation,
 while last year, the team's chartered vessel experienced a
 medical emergency that scuttled plans just as the vessel was
 to arrive at Dutch Harbor, AK. This team did operate 6 days
 from Adak Island (NA-039) and made over 10K QSOs.
 This year's team has chartered a very capable but expensive
 (43K USDs) vessel, the "April Lane", that will make the 675
 mile Aleutian Island journey from Dutch Harbor to Adak to
 Kiska, an uninhabited island that is part of the Alaska Mari-
 time National Wildlife Refuge. The group has secured the
 necessary permissions from the USFWS to visit the island.
 Kiska is also designated a National Historic Landmark and is
 part of the Aleutian Islands World War II National Monument.
 This year's IOTA activation will be a commemorative operation
 honoring the 80th anniversary of the historic events taking
 place on Kiska during WWII... more information to follow.
 They will operate 3 stations from July 25-31st, tentatively
 using the KL7RRC callsign 40-6m and during the 2022 IOTA
 Contest.
 Current operators are: James/KB2FMH, Alex/KL5CX, Adrian/KO8SCA,
 Yuri/N3QQ, Tim/NL8F and Hal/W8HC. Visit the website for updates
 and more information at: https://www.na-234.com

 NA-112. Alex, AK4AM, will once again be active as AK4AM/p from Emerald
 Island (WW Loc. FM14pq) between July 3-9th. Activity will be
 on 160-10 meters using Yaesu FT-991A and an Ultimax Antennas
 DX Extreme about 300 ft. from the ocean waves. QSL only via
 LoTW.

 NA-128. Members of the "NA-128 Contest Group" will once again be active
 this year as VX2I from Ile-aux-Coudres, Quebec, Canada (FN47),
 between July 28-31st during the RSGB IOTA Contest (July 30-31st)
 as a Multi-2/DXpedition entry. QSL only via LoTW. For more
 details on past operations, see: https://www.qsl.net/na128cg

 OC-139. Grant, VK5GR, reports the following [edited]: We are pleased
 to announce that VK5KI will for the first time participate in
 the RSGB's Islands on the Air (IOTA) Contest this year from
 Kangaroo Island, off the cast of South Australia. The operators
 for this trip will be Grant/VK5GR and Chris/VK5FR.
 We will be active in the Island Station - DXpedition Multi-2
 category in both SSB and CW modes on 80m-10m prior to the
 contest, and on the main contest bands of 80/40/20/15/10m
 during the event.
 QSL cards will again be available through our QSL Manager,
 Charles, M0OXO.
 More details will be made available via our website at:
