It’s been a slow summer for DX though last night I did snag TO3K on 20 meters. Mayotte Island (AF-027) is number 109 on the Club Log Most Wanted list and an ATNO for me. Mayotte is located in the northern part of the Mozambique Channel in the western Indian Ocean off the coast of Southeastern Africa, between the northwestern part of the island of Madagascar and northeastern Mozambique on the continent.

The current DX operation began on August 2nd and is scheduled to run until August 10th. The Italian operators include, IV3JVJ Luca - IK3ZAQ Ivan - IZ3NYS Alessandro who are using IC-7300’s on 80 thru 6 meters.
