They will be using the exact planned equipment for the WRTC 2026 event as a trial. The operating location will be a cluster of sites within the grounds of the Euston Estate, Suffolk (England). There will be two awards available for chasers during this event, complete information on https://www.wrtc2026.org/wrtc-test-event-july-2025/.
HK - Members of the Asociacion de Radioaficionados Unidos (HK4RAU) have announced plans for a DXpedition to Isla Fuerte (SA-078), Colombia, to take during the last week of July, including participation in the IOTA Contest (26-27 July 2025). Callsigns to be used are 5K0T (operated by HK4T) and 5K0C (operated by HK4C), as well as HK4SSI/0 and HK4X/0 for "portable activations". Activity will be on HF, VHF/ UHF and for the first time satellites. QSL via EA5GL.
MOUNT ATHOS ---> SV2TOW is the Greek callsign issued to Monk Pausolipios, at the Docheiariou Monastery of Mount Athos. He still has to "apply to the Mt. Athos Council, which represents the 20 monasteries, to get permission to transmit from there". The process may take some time, but hopefully he will be allowed to be QRV as SV2TOW/a using the equipment of the late Monk Apollo. [TNX The Daily DX]
