         operators (DL3DXX, LB8DC, N7QT, N9ADG, SM1ALH, SM5AQD, SM5GLC, W5XU
         and WJ2O).  They will be active from Mellish Reef (OC-072)  on 3-16
         November, with four stations around the clock. "One of our goals is
         to  dedicate  a  lot  of  station  time  to   the  digital   modes,
         particularly  RTTY", they  say.  "If conditions are such  that  the
         band(s) are not open for RTTY, we most  likely  will give  JT65/JT9
         and FT8 a try". The lower bands (160-30m) are expected to  "provide
         the best opportunity to work the  world during the  evening hours",
         while 17 and 20 metres will  be "the most likely bands to  work the
         world during the day". The pilot stations will be  K4PI (all of the
         Americas),  V51B (Africa) and  ON9CFG (Europe).  QSL via Club Log's
         OQRS (preferred), LoTW and eQSL; traditional requests via N7QT. The
         website for the DXpedition is at https://vk9ma.com/.

at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]

PIRATES ---> "For more than a year now  an  Amateur Radio operator  has been
pirating the following calls on CW", The Daily DX reported on 17 August. "It
started off with VU2TS, but only on CW. Then he was switching  between VU2TS
and 4U1ITU, when the  club was  using  4U1WRC, again CW only.  Next he began
using 5H3PM, CW only.  The pirate has  now recently  switched  over to 5H3MG
again CW only.  I have  confirmed with  Tanzania  Communications  Regulatory
Authority (TCRA) that both 5H3 calls are not currently registered calls. The
signals are clearly coming from Southern Europe".

XF2L ---> The 19-20 August XF2L operation from  Isla de Sacrificios (NA-224)
[425DXN 1340] has been cancelled  owing to bad weather conditions.  The XF2L
team was active from Isla de Lobos (NA-221) on 28 December 2016 and again on
29-31 May,  from  Isla de Sacrificios (NA-224) on  17-19 February, and  from
Isla de Enmedio (NA-224) on 28-30 July. They will try and return to  Isla de
Lobos sometime  in December. Logsearch  on  the  Grupo Puebla DX's  website:
