         Islands for 30-40 days  starting on 18 March.  The  callsign is  in
         memory of the late Yasuo "Zorro" Miyazawa, JH1AJT,  who passed away
         on 23 March 2022. QSL via Club Log's OQRS.

CE0Z   - Felipe, CE3SX will be active as CB0ZIX from Juan Fernandez  from 21
         March to 4 April. He will be QRV almost exclusively on 6 metres SSB
         and FT8 (F/H).  QSL via LoTW,  traditional  QSL cards  will  not be
         available.

EA     - The Union de Radioaficionados Espanoles,  Spain's IARU member soci-
         ety, was founded on 1 April 1949.  Celebrating URE's  75th anniver-
         sary,  a month-long activity  will take place  from  1 to 30 April.
         Look for AO75URE and 18 other special stations representing the Au-
         tonomous Communities  and Autonomous Cities of the country:
         AO75AN Andalucia                      AO75GA Galicia
         AO75AR Aragon                         AO75IB Islas Baleares, EA6
         AO75CA Cantabria                      AO75IC Islas Canarias, EA8
         AO75CL Castilla y Leon                AO75LR La Rioja
         AO75CM Castilla-La Mancha             AO75MA Madrid
         AO75CT Cataluna                       AO75MC Melilla and Ceuta, EA9
         AO75CV Comunidad  Valenciana          AO75MU Murcia
         AO75EU Euskadi i.e. Basque  Country   AO75NA Navarra
         AO75EX Extremadura                    AO75PA Principado de Asturias
         In addition, CQ75URE will be active from  Portugal.  A large number
         of  awards  will be available: see https://75aniversario.ure.es for
         detailed information, logsearch and  OQRS (to be activated after 30
         April).

ER     - ER30ARM is a special callsign  celebrating the  30th anniversary of
         the  Amateur Radio Society of Moldova  (ER1KAA).  Look for activity
         from 20 March to 30 April. QSL via the bureau, direct, and LoTW.
FM     - Miguel, EA1BP will be active holiday style as FM/EA1BP  from Marti-
         nique (NA-107) from 23 March to 1 April. He will participate in the
         CQ WW WPX SSB Contest as TO7O. QSL via LoTW, or via home call. [TNX
         EA1BP]
FT/G   - Marek, FH4VVK will be active as FT4GL  from Grande Glorieuse,  Glo-
         rioso Islands  (AF-011)  from  24 May to 19 June.  The most  recent
         activity from the islands dates back to 2009 (FT5GA),  and the Glo-
         rieuses are currently ranked  8th  on  Club Log's  DXCC Most Wanted
         List.  This one-man operation will be carried out in  parallel with
         Marek's professional activities.  He hopes to be QRV daily with two
         stations at the same time - one on FT8  and  one on SSB or RTTY (he
         lacks sufficient knowledge  of CW to manage a huge pile-up).  There
         will be no  activity on 6 metres, EME, or via satellite.  QSOs will
         be uploaded to  Club Log on a daily basis;  access to the  Internet
         will be available  for two hours a day,  from 18 to 20  local time.
         QSL via F4FTV (direct or bureau);  full LoTW upload will follow six
         months after the end of the DXpedition. Bookmark

IOTA DXPEDITION FUND: FURTHER NEWS ---> "IOTA Ltd reported  in early Septem-
ber 2023 the creation of a DXpedition Fund to help reduce the costs of expe-
ditions to the rarer and less accessible IOTA groups" [425DXN 1688].  "Since
then the Fund has made a number of applicants very happy.
However we want to do more  to encourage operations  from groups where there
has not been a significant operation  for at least 15 years.  So in addition
to making grants  to operations from  IOTA references confirmed by less than
25% of IOTA members based on the last 10-year listing  in IOTA's Most Wanted
List,  we will also do the same for  operations to groups confirmed  by less
than 30% of IOTA members  on the same list  that have not seen an activation
for at least 15 years.  It is estimated that these two categories cover some
250 IOTA groups.
The grant request should be submitted more than  30 days prior to the opera-
tion's start. The evaluation and grant process is based on various criteria,
including the rarity of the IOTA reference,  the length of the operation and
number of operators, importantly the  planned number of contacts, bands  and
modes to be used, and the estimated expedition cost.  Applications should be
addressed to dxp-fund[@]iota-world.org". [The IOTA Board and DXpedition Fund
Committee, 19 March 2024]
The Evaluation Criteria  and the  Grant Application Form can be found on the
IOTA website (https://www.iota-world.org/) under the DXPEDITION FUND label.
