3D2Z: TEAM MEMBER CHANGE ---> "Due to unexpected circumstances, Mike,  W0VTT
has had to drop off of the 3D2Z on-island team.  In our continued efforts to
bring more 'Next Generation' amateur radio operators into DXpeditioning, the
3D2Z team is pleased to announce that our new 6th member  replacing Mike  is
Lukas Bartkus,  LY7J,  a 22-year young ham from Lithuania.  He joins Connor,
KD9LSV  and  Jamie, M0SDV as our 3rd young ham making this a  multi-national
'Next Generation' DXpedition. Meanwhile, Mike will remain a valued member of
our off-island DXpedition team serving as one of the remote operators of the
two NexGenRiBs  which will be accompanying the  DXpedition.  Funding efforts
continue for the November  DXpedition: https://rotuma2024.com".

CY9C: ST PAUL ISLAND ---> The  CY9C team  has announced the  VHF/UHF/EME/SAT
plans for the upcoming DXpedition to St Paul Island (26 August-5 September):

FT8: SUPERFOX & SUPERHOUNDS ---> N5J (Jarvis Island)  and  CY9C (St Paul Is-
land) will be the  first two major DXpeditions to use  WSJT-X's new SuperFox
sub-mode. In a nutshell:
* Using a 1512 Hz bandwidth, a  SuperFox station  starts at 750 Hz and go up
  to 2262 Hz; it can transmit up to 9 messages simultaneously without reduc-
  ing the dB values received by the SuperHounds.
* The SuperHound stations transmit normal FT8 signals  anywhere  from 200 Hz
  and up; their frequencies are not shifted down after being called.
* A  SuperFox station  can send  text  messages  of  up to 26 characters  in
  length, for example to announce QSY.
* A  digital signature  embedded in the SuperFox message will enable the re-
  ceiving software  to confirm  that the signal  originates from the genuine
  DXpedition.
* There will be  no backwards compatibility, and the use the  latest release
  of  WSJT-X  will  be  mandatory  (candidate  release  WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc5  is
  upcoming, bookmark https://wsjt.sourceforge.io./wsjtx.html).
