TL - The Italian DX Team's TL8AA & TL8ZZ operation from the Central African Republic is still set for 12-26 November [425DXN #1636], but the news from Bangui does not sound very promising. "The capital city is undergoing a severe shortage of fuel, available only at black market tripled prices", the team reported a few days ago. "A litre costs about 1600 XAF, in excess of 2.4 USD. Our location is equipped with an oil-hungry 30kW generator. Electric power in Bangui, as well as the Internet, are available only a few hours a day, day or night with no foreseeable schedule. Obviously, we shall try our best to be available on air, but oil shortage makes any plan most uncertain".
VK9C - Four operators were expected to be active as VK9CM from the Cocos (Keeling) Islands from 26 October to 3 November, and to participate in the CQ WW DX SSB Contest as VK9C [425DXN 1637]. The team departed Perth on schedule on 25 October, but "we got half way to Cocos Keeling when the captain announced we were returning to Perth due to tropical storms to the north", they say. The flight has been rescheduled for 29 October: "unfortunately, we've lost four days and are now left with only five days of on-air time. Discussions are being held on how to pack a 10-day DXpedition into five days. The team is disappointed with the situation, but at the same time also determined to make the best use of the remaining time". Updates will be posted to https://www.qrz.com/db/VK9CM.
