INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Summer 2020 issue (#130) of the International DX
Association's Newsletter is now available for download on the INDEXA website
(https://indexa.org/newsletters.html ). "DX material is very scarce right
now", so "this issue is about history" (the beginnings of INDEXA and the
first sponsored DXpedition in 1984, to the Kermadecs), plus a spotlight on
Yasuo "Zorro" Miyazawa (JH1AJT), the recipient of the 2020 Hamvention Ama-
teur of the Year Award. [TNX NV9L]

team says. "All the time, before each expedition, we always come up with
something new and special to make your support of us more interesting and
attractive. In this expedition we want to introduce a special QSL called
'fast', which will be sent out from the very first functioning post office
on our way back. Those who wish to receive this exclusive card must order it
prior to the expedition start" - see https://www.qrz.com/db/ri0q for the
details. "Traditional confirmation" will be available via Club Log's OQRS
and LoTW, and the matching function for paperless QSLs will be enabled six
months after the end of the expediton.
