CU - AZORES ISLANDS, EU-089
CT1EPV, CT1EGW, CT1GFK, CU2HJA, DJ2VO and HB9CRV/CT3FN will activate
Flores Island (EU-089) between Jul 21 and Aug 1. All WLOTA hunters
should be aware that they plan to put up their stations in the light-
house Farol do Albarnaz (WLOTA LH 0947). They will be on the air as
CU8/homecall in CW/SSB/RTTY/PSK on 6-80m including the beacon CU8/CT3FN
on 50.113 MHz and as CU8T (multi/single) during the IOTA Contest on
Jul 28/29. The QSL manager for CU8T is CT1GFK (via bureau), all other
QSLs should be sent to the operator's homecalls. Their homepage is:
http://www.to-mk.com/azores

JA - JAPAN
The special event station 8J7VENUS is very active in SSB and digital
modes on 80-6m from the "Sendai Tanabata Festival" until Aug 31.
QSL via JH7YES.

JD1 - MINAMI TORISHIMA, OC-073
Masafumi,JA6GXK/JD1, is working from Minami Torishima (OC-073) from
Jul 18 until Aug 2 and once again from Aug 29 until Sep 30. He prefers
working in PSK on 20m.

JW - SVALBARD, EU-026
Martin,JW/G3ZAY, and Michael,JW/G7VJR, are working from the clubstation

KH3 - JOHNSTON ATOLL, OC-023
Like announced previously in DXNL 1525 Susan,W7KFI, will become active
from the Johnston atoll (OC-023) during the end of July. She plans to
arrive already this week. KH3/W7KFI prefers working in CW on the QRGs
7036, 10105, 14036 and 18070 kHz and in SSB on 14236 kHz. Since the
atoll is now under administration of the "US Fish and Wildlife Service"
all future operations have to be organized under much more difficult
circumstances. However the environmental agency declared this the last
official operation and the island for not accessible anymore.

KL7 - ALASKA, NA-041
Rich,N7TCO, and Martin,W7ASF, will use the callsign W7ASF/KL7 from the
island Prince of Wales (NA-041) from Jul 22-30. They also intend to
take part in the IOTA Contest on Jul 28/29. QSL via W7ASF.

SU - EGYPT
Giselher "Gisel",SU9GD (DJ2AVB), writes: "I am active from Mehalla
El-Kubra for three years now, mostly in CW and Feldhell, THROB and
other digital modes on 20m. You can find me on the bands during the
Islamic weekend (friday/saturday) starting around 1400 UTC. I run about
50 watts in the digital modes and 100 watts in CW using a vertical on
the roof. Please QSL via my homecall DJ2AVB."

rocks in the Carpathian Sea which recalls the pictures of the recent
BS7H DXpedition. The team is working in SSB/CW/PSK/RTTY/FSK441/FM
and via satellites on all bands from 160m-23cm activating also the
lighthouse (WLOTA: LH 0393) for the very first time from Jul 17-23.

working in SSB on 20m but has antennas for all bands from 6-40m with
him. He may also try PSK but start listening on the IOTA frequencies.
QSL cards will be handled by David himself, either direct or via bureau
and all log data will be uploaded to the LotW as well. More information

Radio Amateurs (ILERA) which will be put on the air by Lenio,PY3DF,
Tanaka,JA1FXZ, and other members of the league with following schedule:

DXCC: The German "Financial Times Deutschland" wrote on July 10, 2007, that
the independence of Kosovo will be retarded not only because of the
resistance of Russia. Experts expect a decision about the future of
the Kosovo to be made not before the NATO summit in Bukarest which will
take place in April 2008. So we still have to wait for a new European
DXCC counter...

PIRATE: Mamuka,4L2M, president of the "National Association Radioamateurs
of Georgia (NARG)" writes that the station 4L6VV is a pirate!
The OP calls himself Yuri and proclaims Tkvarcheli to be his QTH.
Mamuka states that this is not a valid Georgian licence and asks
everybody not to QSL. He thinks the pirate works from Russia.
