3G0Z ---> Felipe, XQ7IR went QRT from Robinson Crusoe Island on 5 June at 6
UTC (https://www.robinsoncrusoe2026.net). The planned XR0Z activation of
Alejandro Selkirk Island (SA-101) did not take place, owing to bad weather
conditions.
"Almost all of my equipment will remain stored on Robinson Crusoe Island",
Felipe says, "awaiting my next activation from CE0X San Ambrosio Island.
Plans are progressing well, and the recent developments during this visit to
CE0Z have given me renewed energy and motivation to make that operation
happen". He will not provide details in advance, though, and "you will only
hear about my trip when I am already on my way to CE0X".
3Y0K QSL STATUS UPDATE ---> The 3Y0K OQRS service is temporarily disabled.
Charles, M0OXO has paused the system for several days to allow him time to
print some 18,000 labels required for the QSL cards and mailing addresses.
Those who did not request a card during the initial 10-week window will be
able to do so when the service reopens; however, because they missed this
first batch, their cards will not arrive until July. Please note that
Charles will not respond to emails inquiring about shipping dates. Because
updates regarding the 3Y0K QSL process have been widely shared on social
media and in the DX news over the last few months, these emails are unneces-
sary. While he aims to mail the cards before Friedrichshafen, any unexpected
complications could alter this timeline.
T31TTT ---> The Rebel DX Group (https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup) re-
ports that the operation from Kanton Island, Central Kiribati ("T31TTT Part
1") is now QRT. The final log will be uploaded to Club Log "when we find
some time".
+ SILENT KEY + H.E. Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah, A71AU passed away on 27
May at the age of 73. A former Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Energy
and Industry of Qatar, he was the Chairman of the Qatar Amateur Radio Soci-
ety (QARS) and a driving force behind QO-100, Qatar's first-ever amateur ra-
dio satellite.
