3D2/R - The website for the 3D2Z DXpedition to Rotuma Island (15 November-4
December) [425DXN 1725] is up and running: https://rotuma2024.com/.
Joining the team is 23-year-old Connor, KD9SLV. The 6-member team
will operate locally with three stations on 160-6 metres; they will
take part in the CQ WW DX CW Contest using another callsign (TBA).
In addition, two of W6IZT's NexGenRiBs will be operated remotely by
a team of young amateurs. QSL via M0OXO's OQRS.
The Northern California DX Foundation has announced its financial
support for the DXpedition, as it "features two important NCDXF in-
terests, youth in DXpeditions and the RIB, Radio In a Box concept".
The NCDXF board has funded the DXpedition's request and added
additional support for the two young operators joining the team on
the island. The mission of NCDXF (https://www.ncdxf.org) is to
provide necessary financial support for well-organized DXpeditions
to desirable DXCC Entities and to support advances in Dxpeditioning
skills, technology, and infrastructure.

3Y0K: BOUVET ISLAND 2026 ---> The sailboat contract has been cancelled and
there will be no January 2025 operation. The organisers are negotiating a
contract for a large expedition vessel and helicopter operation to take
place in January 2026. [Source: https://3y0k.com/]
ARRL SYSTEMS SERVICE DISRUPTION ---> In its Member Bulletin dated 6 June,
the ARRL informs "of a serious incident that has impacted ARRL's operations.
On or around May 12, 2024, ARRL was the victim of a sophisticated network
attack by a malicious international cyber group. We immediately involved the
FBI and engaged with third party experts to investigate.
On May 16, on the eve of the ARRL National Convention in Ohio, we posted a
notice on our website to inform members about the incident. Since then, we
have made substantial progress to mitigate the impact of this attack on our
organization. We have been posting regular updates, including the status of
restored services. Please refer to our dedicated news post at
https://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-systems-service-disruption.
We are aware that certain members believe we should be openly communicating
everything associated with this incident. We are working with industry
experts, including cyber crime attorneys and the authorities, who have
directed us to be conservative and cautious with our communications while
restoring the ARRL network.
Many of our services and programs have been impacted by this attack. We have
been diligently assessing each system to ascertain the extent of compromise.
For example, while the Logbook of The World server and related user data
were unaffected, we have taken the precautionary measure of keeping the
service offline until we can ensure the security and integrity of our
networks. Similarly, access to Online DXCC is unavailable, although
individual award data remains secure.
Fortunately, some of our key systems, such as the ARRL website and our
association membership system, were unaffected. Despite the severity of the
attack, no personal information was compromised. Additionally, ARRL does not
store credit card information anywhere on our systems, and we do not collect
social security numbers.
Our Directors have heard from some members who are concerned about managing
their membership renewals. Members can renew online at www.arrl.org/join or
by phoning ARRL.
We understand the frustration and inconvenience this incident has caused,
and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as our dedicated
staff and partners continue to work tirelessly to restore affected systems
and services. Thank you for your ongoing support".

PETER I ISLAND 2027 ---> "We plan to activate Peter I Island in February
2027 with a team of 19 operators", Ken, LA7GIA posted to Facebook on 4 June
(https://www.facebook.com/groups/1787070508410564). "We will go to Peter I
with a large vessel and two helicopters, and the DXpedition will be led by
an external expedition leader from an Antarctica expedition company - Spirit
of Sydney. The capacity of the expedition leader and the vessel have been
reviewed and approved by Norwegian Polar Institute and is the basis for the
landing permit we received in April 2024. Our expedition leader has
supported more than 80 expeditions to Antarctica, and has previously landed
on Peter I three times. With the landing permit and external resources
involved we're ready to move forward signing the contracts.
It should be noted that the total cost of this expedition is approximately
$2,000,000, including all logistics, marine, aviation, insurance, safety and
rescue, and Antarctica permits. Our website (https://3y0k.com/) will be
updated to reflect the changes.
At the time of activation in 2027, it will be 21 years since the last DXpe-
dition to this island. In preparation for the contract you can support our
adventure by donating via PayPal (donate@3y0l.com)".
