Access to the main functions of www.425dxn.org is provided by the 425DXN App

INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Winter 2019 edition (#124) of the International
DX Association's Newsletter (INDEXA) is now available for download at
http://www.indexa.org/newsletters.html. It contains a complete report by
Diego Thobie, F4HAU on the Saint Brandon (3B7A) DXpedition which occurred
in April 2018. "We are trying an experiment with this issue of the
newsletter. One of our new directors, Otis Vicens (NP4G), has labored
alongside your editor to produce a Spanish translation", specifically aimed
at the large Spanish-speaking population worldwide. "We hope this effort
will indicate there is sufficient interest in continuing with a Spanish
translation".
OPDX MAILING LIST ---> "The OPDX Mailing List is back up and running", Tedd,
KB8NW announced on 28 January. "However, we are starting from scratch, and
only very few e-mail addresses have been added. The new mailing list does
not have an automatic subscriber feature and you will have to e-mail me a
request to be added". Send your requests to either kb8nw[@]hotmail.com or
kb8nw[@]arrl.net.
