         operate from there this time. Instead we will do research on how we

3Y0Z: BOUVET 2018 ---> "We have found an  alternate  vessel that  eliminates
the repositioning costs and at the  same  time adds  additional  margins  of
safety for our team", the Bouvet Island DXpedition team (3Y0Z)  announced on
5 May.  "Our departure  will  be  approximately  mid-January, 2018, possibly
sailing to  Bouvet  from  King George Island.  We expect 9-11 day voyage  to
Bouvet.  When the weather allows, we will land on the island by  helicopter.
Our first priority will be  to inspect  the terrain,  select a site clear of
crevasses and establish our shelters stocked  with emergency supplies.  Once
secured, we will bring the rest of our equipment  ashore  and commence radio
operations as soon as possible.  We expect to be  at Bouvet for 21 days, and
allowing for weather, hope to be on  the air  for 14-16 days".  You can read
the  full  story  in  Press Release #5 on the  News and Updates  page on the
DXpedition's  website (http://www.bouvetdx.org/).  "This is likely the  most
expensive DXpedition ever attempted and the operating team has committed  to
fund up to 50% of the costs.  We are hopeful the DX community  will fund the
remainder. You may follow our planning  progress and  see our  fund-raisings
results on our website".

DXCC REINSTATEMENT  OF  MIDWAY AND KURE ISLANDS ---> On  31 March  the  ARRL
announced that Midway and Kure Islands had been placed on  the list of  DXCC
deleted  entities  [425DXN 1353].  "The stated reason for this action",  the
ARRL reported on  11 May,  "was because of  changes  in  the  administration
resulting from changes in Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument", which
includes Midway and Kure.  "After further review it has  been found that the
deletion of these  two entities  is not supported by  the changes that  were
made to the relevant administrations. Therefore, the deletions from the DXCC
list should not have occurred and the  two entities,  Midway Island KH4  and
Kure Island KH7K, will return  to the DXCC list  as separate  entities". See
http://www.arrl.org/news/midway-and-kure-islands-reinstated-as-dxcc-entities

"NEW" BARC ADMITTED  TO  IARU MEMBERSHIP ---> The  member-societies  of  the
International Amateur  Radio Union  have  approved a proposal to  admit  the
Belize  Amateur  Radio  Club (http://barc.bz), a new  representative of  the
Radio  amateurs  of  Belize,  to  IARU membership.  Belize  previously   was
represented in the IARU by another organization  of the same name.  Once the
IARU Administrative Council  determined that  this  earlier organization  no
longer existed, IARU Region 2 accepted  an application  for membership  from
the new BARC and confirmed that  it satisfied the  requirements of the  IARU
Constitution  and  Bylaws.  The officers  of  BARC are  Emil Rodriguez V31ER
(President), Dr. Andre T. Scholz V31DL (Vice President and IARU Liaison) and
Steven Harp V31SH (Secretary). There are now 167 IARU member-societies in as
many countries and separate territories. [TNX IARU Region 2]
