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!
425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The July 2019 issue is now available for download
at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]
ILLW ---> The 22nd annual International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend will
take place from 00.01 UTC on 17 August until 24.00 UTC on the 18th.
Complete information on this popular event, including a list of announced
participating stations, can be found at https://illw.net/.
INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Summer 2019 edition (#126) of the International
DX Association's Newsletter is now available for download (also in the
Spanish translation provided by Otis Vicens, NP4G) on the INDEXA's website:
http://www.indexa.org/newsletters.html. This issue reports on the DXpedition
to Kanton Island, Central Kiribati (T31EU) which took place earlier this
year. This DXpedition had support from INDEXA's DXpedition Fund and from
INDEXA's "Hams with Hearts" Fund.
In the same issue there are several other items of interest. A primary
benefactor of INDEXA's "Hams with Hearts" Fund, Zorro Miyazawa (JH1AJT) has
been named Honorary Advisor to Bhutan's Olympic Committee President as he
continues his encouragement of education and healthy growth for youth in
various nations of the world.
INDEXA Director Otis Vicens (NP4G) reports on his solo DXpedition to Easter
Island accompanied by his father. It is a pleasant story of a father and
son reconnecting as adults.
If you have ever wondered about the process of how INDEXA processes requests
for DXpedition funding, INDEXA President Bob Schenck (N2OO) provides the
membership with a rundown of how it all happens.
Finally, if you haven't already noticed, a new video presentation has been
generated in the past month which explains DXing and INDEXA's role in
"Helping to Make DX Happen". There is a link to the presentation in the
article. [TNX K8YC]
K6VVA/6 ---> Rick, K6VVA has been granted written permission for access to
White Rock (NA-187), subject to a number of restrictions (including "low
power battery operation" as generators and gasoline are not allowed, and
"local daytime only QRV for safety reasons"). Tentatively, he is "looking at
sometime between September 15 and October 15". More information will be
provided in due course.
MOUNT ATHOS ---> In a letter provided by SV1GRM, Monk Iakovos (SV2RSG) from
the Koutloumousiou Monastery says: "I hereby take the liberty to contact you
and write in the circumstances of what has been circulated as sporadic
rumours regarding Mount Athos, Monk Apollo and me in conjunction to the
issue of ham radio activities (radio amateur)". Read brother Iakovos'
complete letter and appeal to "all those who love Mount Athos and the
tradition of Amateur Radio" on https://dx-world.net/sv2rsg-mt-athos/.
