| November | ZK3: Tokelau (OC-048) TOKELAU 2026 ---> Members of the Perseverance DX Group (PDXG) and the West-
ern Washington DX Club (WWDXC) are organizing a DXpedition to the Tokelau
Islands (OC-048) [425DXN 1809]. 'Planning for this project continues', the
team reports.
'On April 3, 2026 we had a meeting in Auckland, New Zealand with our Toke-
lauan sponsor, additional project details were discussed. We will be on the
atoll the last 2 weeks of November, 2026. The exact dates will be announced
after the Tokelau Transport Office finalizes their November boat schedule.
The operating location has been selected, and living accommodations for the
team were discussed. Also discussed were the details of a humanitarian pro-
ject we're planning for the local school.
There are formal governmental meetings planned for November. We elected to
be there after these meetings conclude. The meetings are part of an ongoing
recognition of 100 Years of the Tokelau/New Zealand relationship.
Team members will be in Northern California in May to conduct an equipment
inventory and assess our requirements. We will return to California in July
for equipment consolidation, testing and packaging. Subsequently, we will
relocate our equipment storage to a location in Deming, New Mexico.
While the team is funding this project without a major fundraising cam-
paign, we appreciate donations to offset the equipment shipping expenses and
the humanitarian project. Additional details will be announced as they de-
velop'. Bookmark https://tok-dx.com/ for more information. [TNX K5GS]

DXpeditions (ARD) is pleased to announce that Leon Hellmich, DL3ON, will be
joining the March 2027 DXpedition to South Georgia as their second young op-
erator, following the previous announcement of Violetta, KN2P. A third young

velop future DX expeditions.
'On the regulatory front, we are pleased to report that our application to
The Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (GSGSSI) has
been received positively, and the project is expected to enter the formal
review phase in the coming weeks. Based on the constructive exchanges to
date, we remain confident in the process.
Logistically, the project continues to progress, and the first major mile-
stone related to our expedition vessel, the MV 'Meredian', is fast approach-
ing. As a privately funded expedition, VP0SG relies on the support of the
amateur radio community. Therefore, we are actively seeking initial finan-
cial contributions from clubs, foundations, and individual donors to meet
future commitments and ensure the success of this exceptional activation'.
