* PLEASE NOTE: The report "could" contain "Pirate/SLIM" operations or

CQWW DX CW Contest (November 26-27th) as a Single-Op/All-Band/Low-Power
entry. QSL via LoTW ONLY.

5Z, KENYA (Reminder). Sigi, DL7DF, will be on holiday with his XYL Sabine

coastline of Kenyanear Mombasa. QSL via his home callsign, direct or by
the DARC Bureau. For more details and updates, visit:

6O, SOMALIA (Op Cancelled!/Change of Plans). Darko, J28AA/E70A, who was
expected to be active as 6O0DX from Somalia between November 21-30th,
has cancelled his operation due to security concerns in Galkayo. However,
Darko will now be active during the CQWW DX CW Contest (November 26-27th)

and plans to be active as 9G5MP, informed OPDX on Wednesday that he is
heading back to Ghana. This is his 3rd trip there this month. Look for

ipate in the CQWW DX CW Contest (November 26-27th) as a Single-Op using

operate from the rain forest, under the tent, with a generator. There
is no electricity, neither a Cell-Phone signal. This could be a very
dangerous operation with a lot of poisonous insects, snakes, crocodiles,
