3D2/R  - Organized by the Pacific Islands DXpedition Group (PIDXG), the 3D2Z DXpedition to Rotuma Island (OC-060) is scheduled for 15 November to 4 December.

More information is expected in due course.

EA     - Plans are for team EG5MI  [425DXN 1724]  to reach  Penyeta del Moro (EU-151) on  24 May  in the afternoon.  They will  place  a  wooden platform  on the rocks,  followed by a first station  (15m CW)  and hopefully a  second station  (20m FT8 around 14087 kHz).  They will QRT soon after sunset (19.15 UTC).
On 25 May, soon after sunrise (04.41 UTC),  they will return to the islet and  - if the platform is still there -  they will set up the CW station (first on 17m and later QSY to 12m)  and  hopefully  the FT8 station (first on 20m and later on 15m around 21087 kHz). EG5MI will operate  also SSB,  "bands and times  will be decided  on  the spot". They will QRT when the batteries die, possibly by 11 UTC.
A "less optimistic scenario"  involves activating only  one station at a time,  having to choose the mode  subject to best rates.  "The good news  is that in  such case our time on air  would be longer", EA3NT  says.  Check  out  https://www.youtube.com/@EA3NT  for  live coverage of  the sailing,  the landing and the set up on the islet, and probably even the first QSOs being worked.  QSL via EA5GL.
