DU0K sometime in April.  According to the DXCC Desk, the Philippines
are one of several countries with territorial claims in the Spratly
group.  Any operation from the Spratlys should use the call sign of
the occupying authority.

be on the air through year end starting December 24.  From January 1
to 7 they will move to Bangladesh and operate from there.  CW, SSB
