3A - Monaco - 01.09.24
Col, MM0NDX and Steve, MM0SAJ will be active again as 3A/MM0NDX and 3A/MM0SAJ from Monaco on 5-9 September. Their main focus is likely to be on the low bands during their evening hours, and on 6 metres if propagation permits. QSL both calls via EB7DX and LoTW.
4L - Georgia - 01.09.24
Stephane, F4JZW, signs 4L/F4JZW between Aug. 29 and Sept. 30 on 80-6m with 10W and a wire. QSL via LoTW.

Team 6O3T (Mauro IV3AZV, Paolo IV3DSH, Fabri IV3JPP, Maurizio IV3ZXQ, Frank IZ8GCE and Kris YL3JA) will be active from Northern Somalia sometime in September: "although the month of September has been confirmed, the specific dates will not be announced at this time". They will operate CW, SSB and FT8 (MSHV multi-stream) on 160-6 metres with five stations. See https://dxexplorer.net/ for more information.
C2 - Nuaru - 01.09.24
"Out of nowhere, Nauru Airlines cancelled all our confirmed flights due to a change in their flight schedule!", team C21MM reported on 29 August. The new dates for the DXpedition to Nauru (OC-031) are 10-29 October, and the silver lining is that C21MM will participate in the CQ WW DX SSB Contest.
The whole group (14 operators) has had to rearrange all flights, including those from Europe to Australia, as well as the accommodation. "These rearrangements produced unexpected additional costs of around 8,000 USD", and they "hope to get special support from the DX community to bring this rare DXCC country on the air". As Phill, C21TS has been quite active on FT8 for more than one year, C21MM will focus on CW on 160-6 metres, as well as SSB and RTTY on several bands. See https://c21mm.mydx.de/ for more information and updates.
