Dom, 3Z9DX (aka-3D2USU), member of the Rebel DX Group, announced that he has finally received the Navy's permission to leave the main island of Viti Levu, and will be planning a one man DXpedition (due to the Covid and travel restrictions) to Conway Reef for about 10 days.
He will set sail around September 15-17th. It is about 2 days sail from Fiji and 1 day to set the camp. So activity could start around September 17th signing as 3D2CR. He states on QRZ.com, "Fiji is still under 'No Tourism - no visitors' rules."
Activity will be on 160-6 meters using CW, SSB and FT8

You think things are improving then it all goes downhill. I thought Friday to Sunday would have been good with massive field day activity. But no, just Sunday was good. I heard nothing on Ten. Even on 20m I only heard 5 /P stations and none of them heard me. Best of the rest were, FY5KE (French Guiana, No FT8), TI200I (Costa Rica), YW200BC/1 (Venezuela), L21RCA (Argentina) and a few others.
The second leg of the SARL National Field Day runs from 08:00 UTC (10:00 CAT) on Saturday 11 September to 06:00 UTC (08:00 CAT) on Sunday 12 September 2021.
The aim of the Field Day is to work as many stations in Southern Africa as possible on all the HF amateur bands (excluding the 60, 30, 17 and 12 m bands). Phone, CW and any digital mode that can send the full exchange may be used. The exchange is the number of transmitters at your station, the Field Day operating class and your Provincial or country abbreviation.
You can participate as a Field Station, Multi operator; Field Station, Multi operator, QRP; Field Station, Single Operator; Field Statio

Специальное мероприятие для любителей Саудовской Аравии
К тому времени, когда вы прочтете это, специальные станции 7Z91-й, 8Z91-й и HZ91ND будут активны в связи с празднованием 91-й годовщины "Дня объединения Королевства Саудовская Аравия" и "Национального дня Саудовской Аравии" (23 сентября).
По сообщению ARRL, спутники радиолюбительской связи GENESIS-L и GENESIS-N были в числе нескольких радиолюбительских полезных нагрузок, потерянных после сбоя ракеты Firefly Alpha во время ее первого запуска 2 сентября с базы космических сил Ванденберга в Калифорнии. Аномалия произошла примерно через 2 минуты после начала миссии, в результате чего диспетчеры уничтожили пусковую установку в полете. Эту аномалию еще предстоит объяснить.
Это была печальная новость для AMSAT-EA (Испания), поскольку GENESIS-L и GENESIS-N были первыми спутниками, которые они построили сами.
В ознаменование 211-й годовщины Грито-де-Долорес (1821) и 200-летия обретения независимости Мексики (2021) обратите внимание на позывной 6I1M для специальных мероприятий, который будет действовать с 10 по 27 сентября.
Активность будет на 80/40/20/15/10 метров с использованием CW, SSB, FT8/FT4, Echolink (XE1SOV-L) и DMR (TG 33456).
Упомянутыми операторами являются Андрес/XE1SGW, Дэвид/XE1DRM, Диего/XE1DVC, Херардо/XE1SVT, Исмаэль/XE1AY, Мария/XE1LOV, Патрисия/XE1SPM, Рикардо/XE1ELI и Рикардо/XE1SY.
