TZ4AM ---> "QRV on all bands  40m to 6m  so far  at high power",  says Jeff.
"Solar system is behaving nicely and power cuts occur less often,  so I will
be operating at higher power when called for. Mostly CW and some SSB". Oper-
rations are expected to continue until February 2026.  However, Mali is cur-
rently experiencing a severe, multifaceted crisis. If the situation deterio-
rates further, Jeff will evacuate.

AU7RS: POSTPONED ---> Critical low-band antennas are held up in customs, and
consequently the 10-22 January DXpedition to Agatti, Lakshadweep Islands has
had to be postponed. The new dates will be announced as soon as possible.
Also,  the team is  awaiting updates  regarding foreign reciprocal licenses.
"If needed", Sarath (VU2RS) says,  "we'll explore shifting to another island
where foreign nationals are allowed": https://www.vu2rs.com/vu7r/.

>>> KP5/NP3VI: DESECHEO 2026 <<< 

  In collaboration  with the  Vieques Island Amateur Radio Club (NP3VI)  and
the Manyana DX Foundation, KP5/NP3VI  is expected to be  "a landmark DXpedi-
tion" to Desecheo Island, currently ranked as the  14th most wanted DXCC En-
tity worldwide.
  Located approximately 13 miles off the west coast of Puerto Rico, Desecheo
Island  has not been activated  since 2009.  This operation  represents  the
first Puerto Rican-led DXpedition to KP5 in 48 years, following the historic
KP4AM/D activation in 1978.
  Plans are to deploy two self-sustained RDUs (Remote Deployable Units) pro-
vided by the Manyana DX Foundation. The deployment window is  12-14 January,
weather permitting.  Once deployed, the DXpedition is expected to operate 24
hours a day for approximately  30 consecutive days,  until the scheduled re-
covery date. The stations will utilize state-of-the-art remote operating in-
frastructure from Remote Ham Radio (RHR).  KP5/NP3VI  will be  QRV on  160-6
metres  CW, SSB, and  FT8 (always MSHV, never F/H).  Club Log's  Live Stream
feature will be enabled. QSL via M0OXO.
  The equipment is  currently  undergoing  extensive stress-testing  at  the
KP4AA contest station in  Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.  This QTH is located  on a
hill  overlooking  the Caribbean Sea  and  sits  just  under  30  miles from
Desecheo. Signal characteristics should closely resemble  what the DX commu-
nity can expect from KP5. The station is operating using the KP4ES callsign,
and DXers worldwide are encouraged to look for  KP4ES  on the bands and help
the remote operators gain experience managing large pileups and long operat-
ing schedules.
  The station  will remain on the air  until 29 December,  at which time the
team will disassemble the equipment, perform a thorough cleaning and prepare
it to comply with the strict biosecurity protocols required prior  to trans-
portation to Desecheo Island.  Remote operator training  will continue using
KP4ES from the Palmas RHR station in Puerto Rico.

XF4    - Following his brief October visit to Socorro Island, Revillagigedo,
         Mark (XE1B) returns to activate XF4B for a Christmas holiday opera-
         tion. Accompanied by Guillermo (XE1IMO), he was scheduled to arrive
         on 23 December, with the activation  running through the end of the
         year.  The team is deploying  two radios, one linear amplifier, and
         four antennas, allowing for simultaneous  SSB and FT8 operations on
         80-6 metres.  All FT8 contacts  (excluding 60m)  will use  Superfox
         mode with call validation to prevent pirate stations.  QSL via Club
         Log's OQRS only; QSOs will be uploaded to LoTW as OQRS requests are
         processed.  Efforts  are ongoing  to prepare for  a  more extensive
         activation planned for 2026.
3A     - Col, MM0NDX and Steve, MM0SAJ will be active again as 3A/MM0NDX and
         3A/MM0SAJ  from Monte Carlo, Monaco  from 30 December to 3 January.
         Their main focus will be  on the low bands using  SSB, FT8/FT4  and
         RTTY. QSL both calls via EB7DX and LoTW. [TNX DX World]
CE0X   - Felipe, XQ7IR has announced  that progress is being made on his San
         Ambrosio project [425DXN 1777]  after participating  "in two impor-
         tant meetings with the authorities responsible for granting permits
         and authorisations for this expedition".  The new dates are between
         12 January and 15 February 2026, "which represents at least 25 days
         of operation on the island." Plans are still for two stations - one
         operated locally  (mainly SSB)  and  one operated remotely  (CW and
         FT8) - to be active on 160-6 metres. QSL via M0URX's OQRS.
         This DXCC Entity (San Felix & San Ambrosio) is the  #3 Most Wanted,
         and  has been silent  since the XR0X DXpedition  in 2002.  Bookmark
         https://www.sanambrosio-project.com for updates.
FY     - Pierre-Jean, F4GPK will be active again as TO2FY from Korou, French
         Guiana  between  22 December  and  15 January.  He will operate SSB
         only. QSL via LoTW and eQSL; he does not use Club Log and will "not
         answer to paper QSL even with green stamps".
VU7    - AU7RS is the callsign for the  10-22 January  DXpedition  to Agatti
         (AS-011),  Lakshadweep Islands  [425DXN 1798].  The  multi-national
         team includesVU24DX,VU29AR,VU2RS,VU3DXA,VU3GDS,DJ5IW,DL6KVA,
         EY8MM, R7KW, VE7KW and YT1AD.  Plans are to operate CW, SSB and FT8
         (F/H) on  160-6 metres  with  four stations,  while a fifth station
         will be  dedicated to  QO-100.  QSL via M0OXO's OQRS.  Donations to
         help offset  the significant costs  are still  gratefully accepted,
         see https://www.vu2rs.com/vu7r/ for more information.

TZ4AM ---> "QRV on all bands  40m to 6m  so far  at high power",  says Jeff.
