6O3T: THE STORY ---> "As many of you know, not all expeditions go as
planned. Unfortunately, our activities as 6O3T encountered some obstacles
that led to the cancellation of activities. Despite our best efforts , some
problems have arisen that have caused us to adapt and rethink our strategy,
trying to do as little damage as possible. We have put together an article
where we tell what happened to us, and try to share what for us were 12 in-
terminable days, marked by multiple different emotions and moods":
https://dxexplorer.net/our-unforgettable-somaliland-adventure/
C21MM ---> The first six team members will leave Germany on 7 October and
are due to arrive in Nauru on 10 October. After their arrival there will be
some things to organise, so limited operation (high bands only) will take
place. Full operation with 5 stations 24/7 can be expected from the evening
of 15 October (local time, UTC +12). Bookmark https://c21mm.mydx.de/ and

website).
VISALIA 2025 ---> The 76th Annual International DX Convention, sponsored by
the Northern California DX Club, will be held at the Visalia Conference
Center in Visalia, California on 11-13 April 2025. The Hotel reservation

+ SILENT KEY + Jovan Bojdani, ZA1H was one of the original students from the
pioneering ZA1A IARU training program in 1989. His passion for amateur radio
led him to become the secretary of the newly founded Albanian Amateur Radio
Association (AARA). Jovan worked tirelessly to unite competing amateur radio
groups in Albania, though sadly, he did not live to see the fruits of his
efforts.
Beyond radio, Jovan was much appreciated engineer and successful business-
man, deeply respected within his community . He was always ready to lend a
helping hand, embracing his ZA-identity with pride. Whether assisting local
operators or welcoming international visitors, Jovan embodied the spirit of
international community belonging.
Radio ran through Jovan's veins-literally. His father once led Radio Tirana,
and even today, many remember the powerful 7050 kHz signal that once broad-
casted across the airwaves. His father's legacy continues through a recently
published book chronicling those early days.
Frederik Kote, a former Telecom Director and an early supporter of amateur
radio in Albania, said it best: "We lost a dear friend and colleague, and
the family lost their loved one. But this is life."
Jovan's memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him, especially
his wife Teuta and children Krista and Jona. Rest in peace, Jovan. Your
family's legacy and contributions to the world of radio will never be
forgotten. [Martti, OH2BH, Hans, PB2T, and Driton, Z61DX]
