I can copy Yuris ZS8W now on FT8 FH 14.085. Not been able to work him yet. Reports are that this is real and not a pirate. GL, Don, N5DD

from Bernie… YL2GM, Yuris, reports he is still on the S.A. Agulhas II and continues due to weather issues. Yesterday it was the wind and today it is fog. The ZS8W website will continue to be down until after Yuris’ flight from the ship to Marion Island. Don, N5DD

For anyone looking for Austral on any band mode, this expedition starts tomorrow! FO/A - Austral Islands A team led by 9A3MR, Rolando, including 9A2NA, Mladen; 9A4WY, Kristijan; 9A7Y, Livio; 9A9R; Vlatko, and DK8ZZ, Zik; will be active from Tubuai Island, Austral Islands (FO/A) from April 25th to May 7th, 2025. They have booked their flights and accommodations and received the special call sign TX9A which has been accredited by the ARRL DXCC Desk. Their DXpedition goals include using human modes as much as possible, operating two transmitters at the same time, monitoring the 50 MHz band, and utilizing various antennas for different bands. Internet and electricity should be stable. QSL cards can be requested via DK8ZZ through Club Log OQRS or directly to DK8ZZ's address. Bureau cards can be requested for free using OQRS. http://www.austral2025.com GL, Don, N5DD

From www.arrl.org website… ARRL DXCC Statement on Mount Athos Operation SV1GA/A 04/04/2025 The ARRL DXCC Desk has determined that the operation by a DXpedition team from Mount Athos meets the DXCC award program’s accreditation criteria. Contacts with the team, which operated in January 2025 using the call sign SV1GA/A, will therefore count toward DXCC. Additionally, due to actions taken by local authorities that resulted in the early termination of the operation, any future operations by this team from Mt. Athos will require additional documentation for securing accreditation for DXCC credit. Mount Athos is an autonomous region of northeastern Greece, governed by the monastic community, and is an entity on the DXCC List. 73, Don, N5DD

From another thread… The SV1GA/A operation is unacceptable for DXCC credit. We do not possess the proper paperwork for the operation. Take care. Sharon Sharon Taratula Awards Manager ARRL Radiosport Department ARRL - The national association for Amateur Radio 73, Don, N5DD
