Access to the main functions of www.425dxn.org is provided by the 425DXN App
for Android. It is available on Google Play - free of charge, no ads. Enjoy!
3Y0I ---> "A few good DXpedition Pilot stations" have been chosen to serve
during the expedition to Bouvet: https://www.rebeldxgroup.com/3y0i-pilots/.
They "will not handle busted calls, log/mode requests or DXpedition
details", but "will assemble RX information and forward that consolidated
info into a single direct communication link to Dom, the DXpedition Team
Leader". 3Y0I plans to upload the logs to Club Log twice a day. For the time
being, the team in Cape Town expects to complete the "Special Operations,
Water, Rescue, Recovery and Survival" training on 26 November: see
https://bouvetoya.org.
425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The October 2018 issue is now available for
download at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]
4U1UN ---> "90% of the remoting of the 4U1UN station has been completed",
The Daily DX reports. "The main equipment is in a secure area on the 41st
floor and in the near future operators will be able to have easier access
down below". Hopefully the United Nations HQ station will be QRV again by
year's end.
QSL EP6RRC ---> Club Log's OQRS is the preferred method, and it will be
enabled after the DXpedition to Shif Island (AS-189, new one for IOTA) is
over: https://clublog.org/logsearch/EP6RRC. The QSL manager is R7AL, but
those who choose to go direct in a traditional way should mail their request
to EU7A (maildrop): Andrey N. Teterukov, P.O. Box 49, 220050 Minsk-50,
Belarus.
TEN YEARS OF CLUB LOG --- > "It's now been 10 years since the first few
features of Club Log were put together", Michael, G7VJR wrote on 22
November. "This feels like longer than I expected - probably because the
whole story of Club Log has rushed by. They say that time flies when you're
having fun! I wanted to share a few reflections and say a few thank-yous, to
mark this decade" - continue reading on https://g7vjr.org/.
