H44IOTA ---> "Some issues have arisen about the current H44IOTA operations
that need to be addressed before decisions can be taken about acceptance
for IOTA. As this may take a little time to resolve, it may make sense to
hold off sending your QSLs for the time being". [TNX www.rsgbiota.org]
IOTA NEWS ---> The following operations in the period May-June 2013 have
provided acceptable validation and are therefore approved for IOTA credit:
HQ3W (NA-160), YB8P (OC-208), YB8RW/P (OC-236), H44AJ (OC-285) and H44S
(OC-285). OC-285 (Stewart Islands/Sikaiana Atoll) is now confirmed as a
valid IOTA group. [TNX G3KMA]
K9W ---> The Wake Atoll Commemorative team's operation is progressing
nicely. Most of the equipment has been received and is being pre-tested
prior to shipment to the staging areas in California and Hawaii. The two
week "on air" dates are anticipated to start the last week of September or
first week of October. However, this is entirely dependent on the military
flight schedule into and out of Wake Atoll and this has yet to be
determined. Visit www.wake2013.org for updates and information on how to
contribute to this expensive project. [TNX W8GEX]
YB0D ---> The website for the current DXpedition to Damar Besar Island
(OC-177) [425DXN 1155] is up and running at www.damarbesardxpedition.com

UTC on 1 July. QSL via YB0JZS (direct only and postmarked not later than 31
December 2013) and LoTW (after six months). [TNX YF1AR]
