Island activities:

AF-086. Michel, HB9BOI, will be active as D44TOI from the north of Sal Island (WLOTA LH-0610) between July 1-13th. Activity will be on all HF bands. QSL via his home callsign, direct or by the Bureau.

AS-125. Members from the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand are now active as E20AS from Chang Island (Ko Chang in Thai) in the Gulf of Thailand, for a mini DXpedition until April 16th.
They will have 2 element beams for both 20 and 15 meters
and a multi-band vertical for the other bands.

Their operation site is on the north end of the Island and should give them a fairly decent path to EU and NA when the bands are open. Their vertical antenna will be near the water and that should help their signals.
Planned modes are CW and SSB.

Operators mentioned include: John/W2YR(HS0ZDJ), Sam/SM3DYU(HS0ZDY), Winit/HS1CKC, Cy/HS0GBI and Swen/DB3KT(HS0ZFZ). QSL via HS1CKC

Activity will be holiday style with 100 watts into dipole antennas on all bands from 80-10 meters, including the 30/17/12 meter bands. His activity will also include the IARU CW Field Day and in the CQWW WPX CW Contest.

EU-172. After their very sucsessful trip in 2009, operators Harry/PA1H and Nico/PA7PA will once again be active as OZ/homecall from Lango Island (FY-025 Danish Island Award), Denmark, between May 15-24th. Activity will be on 80-10 meters, including the 30/17/12 meter bands. Lango Island belongs to the Langeland Island group, but it is off Langeland, and there is only 1 house on the island, so it is a unique location situated in"The Lindelse Nor". Lat. 54.52.47.16N, Long. 10.41.27.23E.QTH Locator: JO54IV.

Harry informs OPDX that "This time we will activate also 30 meters band and use more digi-modes. When propagation allows, we will also activate 2 and 6 meter bands."
QSL via their home callsign, by the bureau or direct (QRZ.com addresses).

NA-182. (Update) John, VE8EV, is expected to be active from Greens Island in the Northwest Territories (NWT) in the Inuvik Region East Group between April 15-20th. Remember, he will be using a very rare prefix and will sign CK8G. On his blog page he states, "Despite the big geomagnetic storm this past week, the forecast for the duration of the operation is for quiet conditions.

The operating schedule will be Asia from 0000- 0400z, Europe from 0400-0700z and 1400-1700z, North America from 1800-2300z. That's generally where I'll have the antenna pointed but will still happily take callers from anyone that is hearing me. I'll be operating almost exclusively 20m SSB, but I will bring a 40m dipole antenna as a backup.

My plane doesn't land in Paulatuk until 4:00 pm on Wednesday, so I probably won't be on the air until late that evening (early morning 15th April UTC). I'll be using my satellite phone to post status updates during the trip, so watch this space for the latest information."
