Islands (AF-060) for about  five hours  on  10 November  [425DXN 1592].  The
shortage of gasoline  in the country prevented them  from using a generator,
so they had to resort to car batteries.  QSL via eQSL and LoTW only,  appar-
ently paper cards will not be available for this brief operation.

roots cradle the Earth. The current "Instanbul model" remains valid until 31
December 2021.  Old out of date IRCs can be donated  to M0OXO or M0URX,  who
will use them to fund their outgoing Bureau service.

na and Tengah Islands (OC-247) [425DXN 1592] has been postponed until  March

Republic at 8 UTC on  12 November,  earlier than planned.  While  all of the
TL7M QSOs were made on CW and FT8, during the last day of his stay he  oper-
ated SSB as TL8AO (his old callsign from 2016).  QSLs via M0OXO's OQRS,  and
