Just a reminder that members of the Uruguay DX Group and Centro Radioaficionados Montevideo will be active as CW3TD from Timoteo Dominguez Island between December 2-6th. Activity will be on 160-2 meters with an emphasis on the Digital modes. They plan to have 15 operators and four stations on the air.

IOTA OC-171 (Update)
Craig/VK4LDX will be active as VK4LDX/p from Magnetic Island between December 10-12th. He states, "The focus will be SSB, I don't do CW, but I may do some RTTY and PSK31 if I'm not getting through on SSB. I'll be using a 40m dipole favoring North America, full size aluminium vertical dipole for 15m and the HF9V multiband vertical for 10, 15, 20 and 40m. So there's no need to worry about beam headings, it's all up to band choice and propagation." The operating schedule for his operation is now published on his Blog page at:
