** Thanks to the individuals who put the island/group and mode on their QSNs on their PacketCluster reports. The format we suggest is "Mode/IOTA#/Island or Group" (ex. FT8/OC-146/Celebes).
AS-200. Take, JI3DST, will once again be active as JI3DST/5 (mainly for DX and 6m Multi-Hop), JR8YLY/5 (mainly for JA) or JR8YLY/P for FT8 from Shodo Island between 0700z, May 19th, and 0000z, May 21st, and again between 0700z, May 26th, and 0000z, May 28th. Operation may vary due to heavy rain or other conditions.
Activity will be on (possibly 80)/40/30/20/17/15/12/10/6 meters using CW, SSB, RTTY and FT8 (possibly FM/RTTY). QSL JI3DST/5 via ClubLog's OQRS (direct or by the Bureau). QSL JR8YLY/5 via ClubLog (only Bureau).
EU-092. Operators Col/MM0NDX and Jonathan/MM0OKG, members of the MS0INT team, are planning to be active from Horse Island (Summer Isles) between July 24-26th. The operators plan to participate in the RSGB IOTA Contest (July 24-25th) as GM5DX. They will be on various bands and modes before and after the contest. Look
for more details as it gets closer to the operation.
EU-123. Gordon, MM0GOR, will once again be active as MM1E from Great Cumbrae Island during the RSGB IOTA Contest (July 24-25th) (usually) as a Single-Op/All-Bands/SSB-Mode/DXpedition/12-Hrs/High-Power entry. QSL via ClubLog's OQRS or LoTW. NO Bureau QSLs.
EU-178. Sergei, ES1LL, is expected to activate Kihnu Island, Estonia, sometime during May as ES1LL/8. Activity will be on various HF bands using SSB and FT8. QSL via ClubLog, LoTW or eQSL.
NA-039/NA-070 (UPDATE) Members of the Russian Robinson Club have resumed their plans to activate Adak Island (NA-039) and the rare Kiska Island (NA-070) in Alaska's Aleutians between June 30th and July 17th. Callsign to be used is KL7RRC. The tentative
dates are as follows:
NA-039 -- Adak Island between June 30th-July 3rd & July 14-16th
NA-070 -- Kiska Island between July 7-12th
The KL7RRC team currently includes: Hal/W8HC, Rob/N7QT, Tim/NL8F, Walt/N6XG and Yuri/N3QQ. Activity will be on 40-6 meters using CW, SSB and FT8 (F/H). FT8 frequencies are listed on their Web page: https://www.na-234.com
Hal, W8HC, reported the following on the KL7RCC's FaceBook page, May 5th: "Two pallets weighing 983 pounds and containing much of the equipment required for our upcoming KL7RRC operation set for July, was opened and inventoried today as we continue preparation for the much anticipated IOTA DXpedition to Kiska (NA-070) and Adak Islands (NA-029) located in Alaska's remote Aleutian Islands. These IOTA activations will be conducted by
members of the Russian Robinson Club and we will be using the Club callsign KL7RRC from both IOTA Island operations.
The two pallets were actually sent to Alaska last year in advance of the originally planned 2020 trip which was unfortunately cancelled due to Covid-19. See picture on FaceBook:

This KL7RRC equipment has been stored for over a year by KL7RRC team member Tim NL8F. Tim is a veteran DXpeditioner who lives in Dutch Harbor on Amaknak Island, Unalaska, Alaska.
History buffs will also know that Dutch Harbor was the location of the Battle of Dutch Harbor in June 1942, and was one of the few sites in the United States to be subjected to aerial bombardment by a foreign power during World War II.
Stay tuned for more updates on the KL7RRC project." Obviously, donations will be greatly appreciated in support
of this challenging IOTA DXpedition. They can be sent via PayPal linked to the RRC website
(https://www.na-234.com) or via check and payable to: Russian Robinson Club and note
"Donation for KL7RRC 2021 Expedition." Please mail to Yuri, N3QQ, via his QRZ.com mailing address.
