3Y0Z ---> "We are happy to announce that our 3Y0Z Bouvet sea container is on
its way home", Bob, K4UEE posted to qrz.com's 3Y0Z page on 10 September. "It
should arrive in Chicago on September 26 then be moved to K9CT's QTH shortly
thereafter. All associated costs have been paid. Craig K9CT says he will get
all  the loaned  items/equipment  back  to our  sponsors quickly  and  those
shipping costs will then be paid.
From  my  perspective, we will  then  have  all the expenses  paid  and  can
determine  the amount  of  refund  available  to  DX Clubs,  DX Foundations,
individual supporters and our team.
As  previously  mentioned, there  will  be  several  options  available  for
everyone to consider when deciding what to do with their refund. PLS QRX!"

RI0B --- > Owing to an incoming storm, the RI0B  had to change  their plans.
They landed on Tyrtov Island (AS-121) and were QRV on 10-12 September  while
waiting for the storm to subside. Then they set sail to the  Firnley Islands
(AS-054), and started operations on 13 September.  Plans are to be QRV until
the 15th, and to leave the island on 16 September. Their next destination is
Nansen Island (AS-104).  QSL via  Club Log's OQRS;  the  direct links can be
