Still sketchy details, but EA5RM informs the DX community of a multi-national team operating from Kigali, Rwanda during the summer. No other news as yet.

 EA5RM was QSL manager and operator during last year’s excellent DXpedition to Western Sahara (S01R). Maybe a clue?!

First up are OH1VR and OH3RM as OJ0VR and OJ0/OH3RM.
June 30 – July 3. Begin 17z end 06z. QSL’s via HC.

Then between July 5 – July 9,three or four ops (callsigns currently unknown) will be QRV from OJ0/homecalls. QSL for this operation via SM1TDE.

Edit: Eyran 4X4-2238 has provided more info about the second operation in the comments field below

Market Reef is EU053 for IOTA

Further to this post, looks like the call be TX5C

ON7YK will again be QRV in The Gambia from September 14-26, 2007.

PY2MAJ has compiled a video montage of the recent BS7H Dxpedition. Most have seen the pics before, but the presentation is well put together.

Have a look at the movie

The following is from VE3EN’s Solar Cycle 24 website:

The solar flux has now reached the low of 65. This matches how low it dipped at the bottom of the previous cycle on July 21,1996. Never during the last bottom period did the solar flux reach 64. To compare what we could be in store for… not until one year and 2 months later September 7,1997 did the solar flux reach the 100 mark again. During that period, for the most part… the flux never again dipped into the 60’s or 70’s. The new cycle had begun.
