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!

COVID-19 IMPACT ---> The  10th edition  of the  Youngsters on the Air (YOTA)
Summer Camp, to be hosted by the Croatian Amateur Radio Association  on 8-15
August [425DXN 1498], has been cancelled  and postponed to 2021.  Also post-
poned until the summer of 2021 is the first  YOTA IARU Region 2 Summer Camp,
which was expected to be held on 21-26 June.

GERMANY: EXPANDED ACCESS TO 6M ---> The German regulator (Bundesnetzagentur)
"has made a  first preliminary implementation of the WRC-19  results for the
6m band".  Fixed amateur radio stations in Germany have now access to  50-52
MHz on a secondary basis,  with a maximum bandwidth of 12 kHz  for all modes
and the use of horizontally polarized antennas.  Contest operations are also
permitted. In addition, on the 50,000-50,400 MHz sub-band holders of Class A
licences can transmit with a maximum of 750W PEP,  and Class E licencees can
use a maximum of 100W PEP. The maximum permitted transmission power is still
limited to 25W PEP elsewhere. These provisions will apply until  31 December
2020, or until a revised Frequency Ordinance comes into force - whichever is
earlier.

IOTA CONTEST 2020: CHANGES ---> In line  with  "Stay at Home"  guidance,  to
minimise the impact of COVID-19,  the IOTA Contest 2020 will be  exclusively
for single operators using their home stations: only  "Single Operator Fixed
Island"  stations,  and  "Single Operator Fixed  World"  stations   will  be
eligible to enter.  The RSGB  will not be awarding trophies  this year,  but
downloadable  certificates  will be available  to winners.  The IOTA Contest
will be held from  12 UTC on  25 July until 11:59 UTC  on 26 July.  Complete
rules can be found on https://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2020/riota.shtml.

QSL VP8PJ ---> "The cards are printed and were shipped from  ON5UR QSL Print
Services in Belgium to Tim M0URX in the UK", Gene (K5GS) announced on 7 May.
"Tim has the tracking numbers and after Customs processing expects the cards
to be delivered soon.
The envelopes, labels and pre-printed postage are prepared and  awaiting the
cards.  Once in hand the 'stuffing' process  will begin.  Until the Covid-19
lock down in the UK is lifted, Tim will probably have to do this work alone,
it will take longer than usual to complete.
The initial mailing will include all the VP8PJ confirmation requests  in the
system through the mailing date. Bureau cards will be  bulk shipped directly
to the inbound bureaux early next year".

REBEL DX GROUP'S PLANS ---> "Unfortunately, our plans  regarding  activating
Banaba Island and Tuvalu has been affected by the current COVID-19 situation
- just like in case of many other DXpeditions  around the world",  the Rebel
DX Group posted to Facebook on 4 May.  "We're forced to postpone the DXpedi-
tion, but it's not cancelled". The group had planned to operate as T33T from
Banaba in May, and as T22T from Tuvalu in June.
As for 3Y0I,  "we keep an eye on any possibilities  to continue our plans in
terms of activation Bouvet Island at the end of this year". More information
(including  the direct  link to the  3Y0I's  GoFundMe page)  can be found on
https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup/.

ed to be made available on 10 May.  It will provide a number of new features
and  capabilities,  including improvements to  the decoders  for  five modes

Tx3 messages and  improvements to accessibility,  as well as other minor en-
hancements and bug fixes.  Release candidate WSJT-X 2.2.0-rc1 will be avail-
able for beta-testing (not for long-term general use) for one month.
