5C9A ---> The 26-30 July DXpedition to Los Farallones  (AF-118,  new one for
IOTA) [425DXN 1449]  has been cancelled.  On 25 July, thirty  minutes before
boarding the plane,  the team  got word that  the expedition  was not  going
ahead (even though they had all permissions in place)  owing to  "a security
and  administrative problem".  The project "is postponed for 9 months",  the
Team Leader (CN8QY) says. See https://5c9a.com/news/ for more information.

* Island Stations  send RS(T) [optional]  +  serial number starting from 1 +
  their IOTA Reference, for example: 59 378 EU115 [or 378 EU115]
* If you are not sent a report, log 59 (SSB) or 599 (CW)
* If you are not sent a serial number, log a zero
