3D2/R  - The  15 November-4 December  DXpedition  to  Rotuma Island  [425DXN
         1728] will be signing 3D2Y,  not 3D2Z as previously announced.  The
         on-site  team  (K4NHW, KD9LSV, LY7J,  M0SDV, W2FQ  and W6IZT)  will
         operate locally with  three stations on  160-6 metres  CW, SSB  and
         FT8.  They will also participate in the  CQ WW DX CW Contest  using
         a different callsign (TBA). In addition, two of W6IZT's  NexGenRiBs
         will  be  operated  remotely  by a  multi-national  team  of  young
         amateurs.  QSL via M0OXO's OQRS.  See  https://rotuma2024.com/  for
         more information and updates.
CE     - Members of Radioclub El Trauko (CE7DE), based on Chiloe Island (SA-
         018),  will be operating special callsigns  3G7CW (CW)  and  3G7RLN
         (other modes) throughout September, with a focus on the 17th.  This
         was the day in 1898 when Ramon Luis Norero put a wireless telegraph
         system into operation across the Chacao Channel between Chiloe  and
         mainland Chile.  Club Log's Live Stream  has been enabled for  both
         callsigns. QSLs direct to CE7DE.
GJ     - Tev, TA1HZ, will be active as MJ/TA1HZ from Jersey on 11-16 Septem-
         ber, including participation in the WAE DX SSB Contest  (14-15 Sep-
         tember). QSL via LoTW; QSOs will be uploaded also to Club Log, eQSL
         and QRZ Logbook.
         Also active from Jersey will be Peter, ON8ZZ and Fred, ON8ZL on 13-
         15 September. They will be QRV as MJ/OT9Z  on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10
         metres,  and Fred will participate in the  WAE DX SSB Contest . QSL
         via ON8ZL. [TNX DX World]
HH     - 4V1SAVANNAH is the special callsign for the  Radio Club d'Haiti  to
         commemorate the 245th anniversary of the Battle of Savannah from 16
         September  to  20 October.  QSL via N2OO;  QSOs will be uploaded to
         Club Log. In 1779,  more than 500  volunteers  from  Saint-Domingue
         (the  French colony  which  later became  Haiti),  fought alongside
         American colonial troops against the British Army during  the siege
         of Savannah, an encounter of the American War of Independence.
HZ     - HZ94ND, 7Z94ND and 8Z94ND are  the special callsigns for the  Saudi
         Amateur Radio Society (HZ1SAR) to celebrate  Saudi National Day  on
         5-23 September.  QSOs will  be uploaded to  Club Log.  Based on the
         number of lunar years, Saudi National Day commemorates the renaming
         of the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (23
         September 1932).
         National societies  from  Gulf Cooperation  Council's  neighbouring
         countries  are  expected  to join  the celebrations  and  be active
         around 23 September, including the  Bahrain  Amateur  Radio Society
         (A91ARS),  the  Kuwait Amateur Radio Society  (9K9KSA),  the  Royal
         Omani Amateur Radio Society (A43KSA) and the Emirates Amateur Radio
         Society (A60ARS).

         tween 11 September and 10 November to commemorate the 80th anniver-
         sary  of the liberation  of southern Netherlands  in the autumn  of
         1944.  Activity will be on 80-10 metres  SSB, CW and digital modes.

         zloty (PLN), Poland's official currency.  The activity is organized
         by the Polish Amateur Radio Association. QSL via the bureau. A cer-

N5J --- > Authored by Don, N1DG, the Jarvis Island DXpedition wrap-up  is on
https://jarvisisland2024.com/news/108-t ... land-n5j-2.
* All QSOs from donors and OQRS requests received by 31 August have been up-
  loaded to LoTW. QSOs from future OQRS  requests and donations  will be up-
  loaded on a weekly basis.  Plans are to upload  all remaining QSOs  by the
  end of the year.
* As far as IOTA  is concerned,  credit for  OC-081  will only be issued for
  contacts made  with  the  five local operators  (27,635 QSOs  with  11,713
  unique callsigns). "We broke out the IOTA logs from the local ops and gave
  that to the IOTA team for their matching software", N1DG says.  "The soft-
  ware will do a cross checking",  adds VE3LYC,  "identifying the first con-
  tact you made with one of the local team operators.  Credits through  LoTW
  QSO matching will be available starting on 7 September".

Allied Forces stations in Germany (1945-80), special stations  commemorating
ITU and IARU, stations using the United Nations prefix (4U), Antarctic bases
and  TAAF  (Terres Australes  et  Antarctiques  Francaises),  amateur  radio
"globetrotters",  the various  French  DXCC island Entities  in the  Pacific
Ocean,  the Indian Ocean  and  the Americas (1945-1969), pre-1945 countries,
French Departments and CONUS, plus a gallery for cards not accepted by DXCC.

SUPERFOX KEY APPLICATION ---> SuperFox keys are issued by the Northern Cali-
fornia DX Foundation:  "A SuperFox key allows WSJT-X to operate in  SuperFox
mode.  It is tied to a specific callsign.  A SuperFox key may be made avail-
able to the leader of a DXpedition activating a rare entity - or other oper-
ations  that need  to support  very high QSO run rates  using FT8.  Examples
include  (but are not limited to)  highly  desired  IOTA  expeditions,  Grid
Square expeditions, or Special Event Stations. SuperFox mode is not intended
for casual use  or contesting".  See  https://www.ncdxf.org/pages/sfkey.html
for the application form and more information.
It is worth noting, however, that the SuperFox software has been cracked and
digital signatures embedded  in  the  SuperFox messages currently cannot  be
trusted.
