  ** Thanks to the individuals who put the island/group and mode on their QSNs on their PacketCluster reports. The format we
     suggest is "IOTA#/Mode/Island or Group" (ex. OC-146/FT8/Celebes).

AF-045. A group of Senegalese operators, who were expected to be active as 6V1A from Goree Island between December 18-20th, have postponed their operation due to the Convid-19 pandemic.

(Update) Members of the Arctic Legends Team (RT9K), who plan to be active as RI0Q from Bolshoj Begichev Island sometime in early 2021, are looking for funds (15,000 USDs was mentioned) to conduct this operation. To achieve their goal to operate from Bolshoj Begichev Island, the team will have to travel 3624 km (by snowmobiles 1812 km*2). The latest info indicates that the team will start their snowmobile trip on March 10th, 2021, from Norway, and will start their RI0Q operation possibly on March 17th (depending on the weather).
