AU2M: CANCELLED ---> The 28-31 May IOTA operation from Arnala Island (AS-
169) [425DXN 1773] has had to be cancelled "due to unforeseen weather condi-
tions", Sarath, VU2RS announced on 26 May. "Heavy rains and a red alert for
the next 48 hours in Mumbai and other parts of South and Western India have
made it impossible for us to proceed with the activation. The early onset of
monsoon and depression in the region has forced us to prioritize safety.
Despite having booked flight tickets and dispatched equipment to Mumbai in
advance, we now face significant losses due to flight ticket cancellations,
logistics, and additional expenses. The major challenge is the rough sea and
high tide, which makes it difficult for our small boat to operate safely. We
are not allowed to proceed under these conditions.
We will provide updates when the situation improves, and we will need to
restart the planning process from scratch, including obtaining necessary
permissions. We assure you that we will reactivate AU2M as soon as possible,
potentially coinciding with other IOTA activations in the Western region".
MUSEUM SHIPS WEEKEND ---> Sponsored by the Battleship New Jersey Amateur
Radio Station (NJ2BB), this year's Museum Ships Weekend will be held from
00.00 UTC on 7 June until 23.59 UTC on 8 June. Information on the event,
including the listing of expected participating ships, can be found at
https://www.nj2bb.org/museum/.
SABLE ISLAND 2026 ---> Parks Canada has invited the CY0S team back to Sable
Island (NA-063) for a 10-12-day DXpedition during March 2026 (dates TBA).
