BOUVET ---> Preliminary plans were for 3Y0F to be active from Bouvet Island
for two weeks between December 2015 and January 2016 [425DXN 1230].
However, on 13 August Alex Lebedev (UN7PCZ) reported that "some logistical
issues remain open and unresolved", and that "for obvious lack of immediate
progress, I must admit that our operation will probably be delayed until
the next season, 2016-2017". Read the press release on www.dx-world.net.
ILLW ---> The 18th annual International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend will
take place from 00.01 UTC on 15 August until 23.59 UTC on the 16th.
Complete information on this popular event, including a list of announced
participating stations, can be found at http://illw.net/.
VY0M & VY0/VE3LYC ---> Cezar, VE3LYC was able to be active as VY0/VE3LYC
from Resolute Bay, Cornwallis Island (NA-009) between 20.15 UTC on 2 August
and 08.47 UTC on the 3rd. He logged 1220 QSOs on 20m CW and SSB. A separate
QSL card will be printed for this activity. Operations from Melville Island
(NA-248) started at 20.24 UTC on 4 August, and VY0M logged over 4500 QSOs
until 9.25 UTC on the 11th. The vast majority of the contacts were made on

results". When both the logs are uploaded to Club Log, a note will be
