CQMM DX CONTEST ---> The CQ MM DX Contest, organized by the  Juiz de Fora CW 
Group, will be held  on  16-17 April.  It will run from  9 UTC  on  Saturday 
through  23.59 UTC on Sunday, on  80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 metres CW.  Complete 
details,  including  the results  of  the 2021  edition,  can  be  found  at 
http://www.cqmmdx.com. 

QSL E51WL ---> Warwick, E51WL on Penrhyn Atoll (North Cook Islands)  has run 
out of blank cards. "My QSL card resupply from the Ukraine just escaped  the 
conflict, but then it became lost in Iceland",  he says.  Once found, it was 
sent  "half way around  the world  by air  to the  South Cooks,  for onwards 
transport by sea".  The ship was one day away from Penrhyn when she run into 
a reef and let in water:  "now they can't tell me about the mail,  it should 
have been in  safe keeping,  but we don't know.  Please hold on the requests 
for cards, I don't have any".  Updates will be posted to E51WL's  QRZ  page. 

TL8AA & TL8ZZ: CANCELLED ---> The  Italian DX Team's DXpedition to the  Cen- 
tral African Republic has been cancelled at the very last moment.  They were 
supposed to be QRV as TL8AA and TL8ZZ from March 27 to April 9. "Most unfor- 
tunately,  some cases of meningitis in Bangui  prevented our departure  from 
Milano Malpensa",  Silvano, I2YSB says.  "No  prior warning  was  issued  by 
either the Central African Embassy in Paris,  the Government at the destina- 
tion or Air Morocco. Just try to imagine our surprise and regret". Hopefully 
the expedition will be rescheduled at a later date.
