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!
4D0B ---> Ken, G3OCA is receiving many QSL cards from Japan for contacts
made with 4D0B in 2018. "I operated as 4D2B in 2003", Ken says, "but I have
no knowledge of 4D0B in 2018, and I cannot afford to keep sending these
cards back to the operator".
GOOGLE EARTH ---> Francesco, IV3TMM has prepared the KMZ files for showing
CQ and ITU zones on Google Earth, and made them available for download on
https://g7vjr.org/.
Vincent, F4BKV has updated the KMZ file containing all IOTA groups including
the six new ones. The new version (iota-v-3.kmz) can be downloaded from
https://iota-world.org/ (click on "Downloads" in the drop-down menu under
"Programme Information").
NA-211 ---> The K7TRI IOTA DXpedition to Tillamook Rock (6-9 September)
[425DXN 1475] is quite an expensive project. "We are very far from our
intended support target", Cezar VE3LYC posted to the expedition's website
(https://k7tri.weebly.com)on 16 August. "Please help us defray some of the
huge costs associated with this project by considering a donation - we
really do need all the support that IOTA chasers and DXers are willing and
able to offer!"
