SA-099 PJ2ND CURACAO 40m; CW ** 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. FT8/OC-146/Celebes). AF-115. (Update/NEW IOTA). Reports continue to indicate that an operation from Mukawwar Island, Sudan, will take place but now not until late 2022. The callsign ST6SIT which was announced may now be changed. Look for more details to be forthcoming. AS-140. (Update) Operators Manju/S21AM, Fazlay/S21IRC and possibly Aminul/S21D will be active from Manpura Island between December 16-22nd. It was reported on November 14th, the callsign S21DX got approval from Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission. They will operate with two stations (w/100w) into one multi-band beam, two verticals and 1 multi-band inverted V. Activity will be mainly SSB on 10m, 15m, 20m and some 40m if propagation permits. They have also decided to use FT8/FT4.
QSL via ED7DX, direct, by the Bureau or LoTW. They are looking for support. For more details and updates, see: https://s21dx.org AS-177. Operators Madhu/VU3NPI (Team Leader), Mahendra/VU2MNX, Lion/VU2JHM, Ram/VU2GRM, Giri/VU3GDS, "KK"/VU3UNO, Nyjil/VU3ZNG, Vijayakrishnan/VU3KWK and VU3ZLP will activate St. Georges Islands between December 3-6th. The team is awaiting for final permission to land and a special callsign. Activity will be on 40-12 meters using CW, SSB and FT8, with 100 watts into a parasitic array, 20m vertical, Delta Loop and a Bravo 7K 40-10m vertical. QSL information will be announced later. EU-189. A team of 3 expeditioners are planning to land on Rockall Island during June 2022, more than 200 nautical miles from the west coast of Scotland and the nearest civilization. Their intention is to survive on the island for one week and to raise£1,000,000 for Children's Hospice South West & The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity. Dates for the expedition is between June 1-14th, 2022. For more details, see:

During this expedition, well known DXpeditioner and IOTA activator, Nobby, G0VJG, will be joining the team to be the sole radio operator to activate the island, weather permitting, for "1-2 days"; as MM0UKI/P. Specific days have not been announced yet, but will be once he is closer to his operation.
Activity will be only on two bands (40/20m). QSL via M0OXO's OQRS.
