DX Activities
=============

A2, BOTSWANA:
 Luke, ZS6LUK, leaves South Africa on the 6th and expects the
 callsign A25LUK for his sojourn in Botswana. QRV mostly on 40, 20,
 and 10m (SSB, FT8, JS8Call).

SV1GA/A, MT. ATHOS:
 The ARRL has decided to recognise the recent aborted SV1GA/A
 activity from Mount Athos for DXCC purposes. In the light of the
 apparently contradictory actions of local authorities, additional
 documentation will be required for future successful activations.
