** Thanks to the individuals who put the island/group and mode
on their QSNs on their PacketCluster reports....

AN-015. Member and operators of the Japanese Antarctic Research Ex- pedition team (JARE) continue to be active as 8J1RL from Showa Research Station, Queen Maud Land, until January 2021. Operators mentioned are Take/JA1AGS and Hiro/JH7JCX. Activity will be on various HF bands using CW and the Digital modes. Most of the activity has been on 40/30/17 meters using mainly FT8 with some CW. QSL via JG2MLI or by the JARL Bureau.

EU-038. Volker, DL1WH, who was expected to be active as PA/DL1WH/p from the Island of Ameland between October 10-24th, has canceled his operation. Reason not given.

EU-038. (Reminder) Ben, DO1BEN, will once again be active as PD/DO1BEN from Texel Island between October 12-22nd. Activity will be on 40/20 meters using SSB and the Digital modes. QSL via his home callsign, Bureau is preferred.

EU-113. Markus, DJ4EL, will be active as SV8/DJ4EL from three different islands in the IOTA group EU-113 between October 13-22nd. Islands mentioned are Kythira, Makrokythira and the rare Antikythera. Activity will probably be on 40-10 meters using SSB with quads and vertical antennas. QSL via LoTW or his home callsign.

EU-177. (Reminder) By the time you read this, Waldi, SP7IDX, will be active as SM/SP7IDX from Stora Alo-Boko Island [Oostergotland County](depending on COVID-19 situation) until October 17th. Activity will be on 40/10 meters using SSB and FT8. QSL via LoTW or direct.

PLEASE NOTE: Since the Webmasters of the new <www.iota-world.org> have decided NOT to post or dedicate a Web page to announce upcoming IOTA operations, PLEASE send your IOTA operations information to the OPDX, and we will post it here in an upcoming bulletin......
