the 30th anniversary of the Baltic Way (http://www.balticway.net/).

of the Youngsters on the Air (YOTA) Camp, to be hosted by the
Bulgarian Federation of Radioamateurs (BFRA) on 11-17 August. This

Polish Republic, founded after World War I. A certificate will be
available; see https://www.qrz.com/db/SN1919PS for information.

FT8DMC ANNIVERSARY ---> Eight special event callsigns will be activated on

A91FTDMC (Bahrain, QSL via A92AA), II8FTDM (Italy, QSL via IK8YFU), LX8FTDM

IOTA: RESTRUCTURING OF AS-117 & AS-206 ---> "Islands previously listed as
qualifying for AS-117 that now fall within the co-ordinates box of the new
group AS-206 (Honshu's Coastal Islands East) have been transferred and are
listed appropriately both in the application database scroll-down list and
in the IOTA Directory online" Roger Balister, G3KMA (IOTA General Manager)
posted to https://iota-world.org/ on 30 July.
"Following several activations from AS-206 in the last few weeks with most
already accepted for credit, the group number is now confirmed.
Record-holders with credits for AS-117 that commence with prefixes JA0, 1, 2
and 7, will have their credits reviewed for transfer to AS-206.
All chasers who logged into the IOTA system at least once during the last
two years will be automatically informed by a credit re-allocation. This
will alert them to the need to find a replacement card or QSO match for
AS-117 with a prefix JA3, 4 or 9 to regain credit.
Other record-holders for whom Management no longer retains an email address
will have any necessary transfer made automatically.
The intention is to transfer all credits to the correct IOTA group within a
few weeks. As this is quite a big job, patience is requested"
MIDWAY ISLAND 2020 ---> Ron KH6DV has announced that KH6VV/KH4 "will acti-
vate Midway Atoll the last two weeks in February 2020". Operators interested
in joining the DXpedition are invited to contact him by email. See
https://dx-world.net/kh6vv-kh4-midway-island-2020/ for few preliminary de-
tails (and comments).
VP8/VP8DXU ---> The project planning for the 2020 South Orkney Islands
DXpedition [425DXN 1469] continues on schedule. During the weekend of 12
July seven team members and three volunteers met in Placerville, California
to prepare the tents for use on Signy Island, 60m FT8 has been added to the
operating plan, and the fundraising campaign continues: "team members made
their 2nd payment to the project, and our 2nd payment to the 'Braveheart'
was processed", the VP8/VP8DXU team reported on 27 July. "As of this
writing, 33 clubs/foundations and 273 individuals have shown their support
for the project. While we're making progress, we have a long way to go to
reach the goal of 50% team member funding of the estimated project cost of
USD 325,000. Please keep in mind, serious DXpeditions, especially those in
the Southern Ocean, must pay the bills before leaving home, we are no
exception. If you need South Orkneys for an ATNO, or plan to work us, we
would appreciate your help". Please visit https://sorkney.com/ and consider
