EP - "With only 17 days to go before the EP6T DXpedition will take
place", the team reported on 29 December, "the Rockall DX Group is
in the final process of finalizing their newest set-up". As for
the low bands (160, 80 and 40m), they will be QRV from £from local
sunset (13.45Z) up until our sunrise (03.00Z). During the first
two days of the expedition, we encourage DX stations from all
corners of the world to listen to us on the low bands and to keep
our pilots informed of your best times so we can focus based on
the data we receive. During these days we will also be doing our
utmost to thin out the EU pile". Read the complete release on

KP1 - On 30 December the K1N Navassa team reported that "the exact date
of departure from the staging area will be dependent upon a
combination of the date U.S. FWS transportation is available and
upon weather windows". It is estimated that it will take "two full
days of helicopter shuttles to get everything needed to start
operations", and now it looks like "K1N will be QRV the first two
weeks of February". Navassa was activated for the last time back
in 1993, and the USFWS "will not allow another operation for at
least 10 more years". For this reason, K1N will limit "most bands
to a specific mode, so that we can work the pileups down to the
last little pistol". See www.navassadx.com for further information
on the project and details on how to contribute to the fundraising.

expect to be active as K6F from the Farallon Islands (NA-178) on
5-6 January. On Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/K6Fislands) they
say that "this trip to the island will likely not 'count' for IOTA

not have certification from IOTA for these QSO's next week. Please
consider this a dry run for a future trip". The Farallons are a
National Wildlife Refuge and the public is not allowed on any of
the islands. The only two amateur radio activities so far were
