DXCC APPROVED --> The  recent  3D2CR  DXpedition  to  Conway Reef  has  been
approved for DXCC credit.  According  to  Club Log's latest - but apparently
not final - update, between 1 and 9 June the two operators made  33828  QSOs
with North America (39%), Asia (40%), Europe (15%) and the rest of the world
(6%). The most productive band was 20m  (11005 QSOs);  the  most  productive
mode  was  FT8  (22677 QSOs), followed by CW (7708) and SSB (3444).  Already
approved for  DXCC credit are also the upcoming DXpedition  to Banaba Island
(T33T), and the A82Z & A82X DXpedition to Liberia (28 September-11 October).

R205NEW ---> The team  made  about  4500 QSOs  during  their operation  from
Joanna Bogoslova Island (AS-205, new one for IOTA). They went QRT on 19 June
at 00.30 UTC, and are now on  their  way back  to  Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
Rough seas and strong headwind are  slowing down their pace, and  the  RI0ZK
short operation from the  Komandorskie Islands (AS-039)  has been  cancelled
for good.

YASME & AREDN ---> The Board of Directors of The Yasme Foundation has made a
supporting  grant  to  Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network.  The AREDN Pro-
ject's focus is  Emergency Communications  (https://www.arednmesh.org/).  It
seeks to provide hams a means to implement this technology in practical ways
to support local and regional emergency communications needs.  Yasme's grant
will be used to purchase test equipment to aid AREDN development efforts.
