Update December 12, 2025: We regret to inform you that our planned S21DX IOTA (AS-127) expedition scheduled for the end of this month has been postponed to a later date in 2026.

This decision was made after careful consideration of several factors, including:

1) Current logistical challenges and operational constraints in the region
2) Adequate resource availability concerns

We will announce the new activation dates once we have confirmed all necessary arrangements and resources. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
