Island activities:

AS-199. Sara, VU3RSB, informs OPDX that he and Frank DL4KQ, Kumar VU2BGS and Bapuji VU3KET will be activating Nachugunta Island (a new IOTA), India, in the Andhra Pradesh South State Group between December 4-7th.
The team will use the callsign AT2RS.
Activity will be on 80-10 meters (no 30m). Modes were not mentioned.

They plan to have at least 2 stations, possibly 3, on the air.
Two QSL Managers have been named:
W3HNK - For North/South America (direct or by the bureau)
DL4KQ - For the rest of the world (direct or by the bureau)
The group is looking for support for activating this new IOTA
and possibly some other Indian islands in the future.


NA-133. The 5K0T team is now active from Serrana Bank until December 1st. They did not operate from Roncador Bank "due to lack of a suitable location." However, they plan to relocate to Bajo Nuevo (NA-132) on December 2nd and operate from there until December 6th. Both reefs are part of San Andres region (HK0).

QSL 5K0T via HA7RY. For HK0/HK3JJH QSOs, QSL via HK3JJH. For more information and updates, visit their Web page at: http://www.5K0T.com

OC-133. Operators Steve/9M6DXX and John/9M6XRO will be active as homecall/p from Labuan Island between November 24-28th. Their activity will be mainly SSB and CW hopefully on all bands 160-10 meters using 400 watts.

John states, "A few other ops are going from the SEANET group, so there may be other calls in use as well. We are taking 2 rigs, but as we have no bandpass filters, we will only be able to run two stations if we can get enough separation between the antennas." QSL via M0URX.


SA-066. (Update) Members of the 4M5DX Group will be active as YW1TI from Toas Island during the last weekend in November. Activity will be on 160-6 meters using CW, SSB and RTTY.
