INFO

7P8/G4FUI became active like scheduled and will stay until the beginning of December. After 7P8SR went QRT he is a welcome station on the bands

AH4/AH0W is the call of the large scale DXpedition to Midway Island which started like scheduled on August 18. Though the signals were good in Europe before noon (SSB 14195 Khz, CW 14029 kHz) they were very difficult to copy in the afternoon. The same occurred with the KH4/ NH6D DXpedition. If the conds and the discipline in Europe are fine many OMs should make their QSO/QSOs. QSL for AH4/AH0W via KE7LZ.

ZG2 Once again the prefix ZG2 may be used in Gibraltar this year from September 3-10. Reason for that is the national holiday in ZB2. Since there will be a higher activity some OMs may work some new bandpoints.

IOTA DL2RNS and DL2VFR will activate the island Greifswalder Oie on September 14/15. For the IOTA award this island belongs to the Ruegen Archipel (EU-157) but it counts separately for the German Island award (O-012). They will work mostly in CW using a TS50 and perhaps also with a QRP station (HW9).

SU-DX-NET For friends of DX nets there is a new net fridays and saturdays at 1500 UTC on 14220 kHz. SU1ER, SU1SK, SU1GS and SU3AM are some of the stations which are checking in regularly.
