DXCC APPROVED --> The recent 3D2CR DXpedition to Conway Reef has been
approved for DXCC credit. According to Club Log's latest - but apparently
not final - update, between 1 and 9 June the two operators made 33828 QSOs
with North America (39%), Asia (40%), Europe (15%) and the rest of the world
(6%). The most productive band was 20m (11005 QSOs); the most productive
mode was FT8 (22677 QSOs), followed by CW (7708) and SSB (3444). Already
approved for DXCC credit are also the upcoming DXpedition to Banaba Island
(T33T), and the A82Z & A82X DXpedition to Liberia (28 September-11 October).
R205NEW ---> The team made about 4500 QSOs during their operation from
Joanna Bogoslova Island (AS-205, new one for IOTA). They went QRT on 19 June
at 00.30 UTC, and are now on their way back to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
Rough seas and strong headwind are slowing down their pace, and the RI0ZK
short operation from the Komandorskie Islands (AS-039) has been cancelled
for good.
YASME & AREDN ---> The Board of Directors of The Yasme Foundation has made a
supporting grant to Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network. The AREDN Pro-
ject's focus is Emergency Communications (https://www.arednmesh.org/). It
seeks to provide hams a means to implement this technology in practical ways
to support local and regional emergency communications needs. Yasme's grant
will be used to purchase test equipment to aid AREDN development efforts.
