LY     - LY30BW will be active  from  1 August to 30 September  to celebrate
         the 30th anniversary of the Baltic Way (http://www.balticway.net/).
         On 23 August 1989 hundreds of thousands people formed a human chain
         spanning across Estonia, Latvia  and  Lithuania,  demanding the re-
         establishment of the  independence  of the  Baltic States.  QSL via
         LY2QT.  A  certificate  will be available;  see  LY30BW's  page  on

LZ     - LZ19YOTA is the callsign that will be used during  the  9th edition
         of the  Youngsters on the Air (YOTA)  Camp,  to  be  hosted  by the
         Bulgarian Federation of Radioamateurs (BFRA) on 11-17 August.  This
         annual event brings together young people from IARU Region 1 member
         societies for a week, creating an  opportunity  to learn  all about
         different   nationalities   and   cultures,   foster  international

SP     - Radio Club SP9KJU will be active as SN0ARCO between 1 August and 31
         December, with main activity  on  1-31 August,  to commemorate  the
         150th anniversary of Georg von Arco (1869-1940), a pioneer of radio

         commemorate the centenary  of the  first  Silesian Uprising  (16-24
         August 1919).  The Silesian Uprisings were a series of three  armed
         conflicts in  Upper Silesia from  1919 to 1921  in which Poles  and
         Polish Silesians sought to break away from Germany and join the new
         Polish Republic, founded after  World War I.  A certificate will be
         available; see https://www.qrz.com/db/SN1919PS for information.

         (AS-152) [425DXN 1468] has been cancelled owing to safety  concerns
         (adverse sea conditions and  polar bears  on the island).  The team
         will remain on Popigay-Ary Island (AS-063) instead,  and be  QRV as
         as R63RRC until around 3 August.

FT8DMC ANNIVERSARY ---> Eight special event callsigns  will be activated  on
10-24 August to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the  FT8 Digital Mode Club:
A91FTDMC (Bahrain, QSL via A92AA),  II8FTDM (Italy, QSL via IK8YFU), LX8FTDM
(Luxembourg,  QSL via LX1TI),  OD5FTDMC (Lebanon, QSL via K3IRV),  OE19FTDMC
(Austria,  QSL  via  OE1SGU),  TM8FTDM  (France,  QSL  via  F1ULQ),  TO8FTDM
(Guadeloupe, QSL via F1ULQ) and  ZL6FTDMC (New Zealand, QSL via F1ULQ).  The
logs will be uploaded  to  LoTW  and  eQSL.  See  https://www.ft8dmc.eu  for
information on the FTDMC Anniversary Award.

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
