INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Summer 2020 issue (#130) of the  International DX
Association's Newsletter is now available for download on the INDEXA website
(https://indexa.org/newsletters.html ).  "DX material  is  very scarce right
now", so  "this issue is about history"  (the beginnings of INDEXA  and  the
first sponsored DXpedition in 1984, to the Kermadecs),  plus a spotlight  on
Yasuo "Zorro" Miyazawa (JH1AJT),  the recipient of the  2020 Hamvention Ama-
teur of the Year Award. [TNX NV9L]

Bol'shoy Begichev Island (AS-152) sometime between  1 February and  30 April
2021  [425DXN 1521].  "All our Arctic expeditions are  very expensive",  the
team says.  "All the time,  before each expedition,  we always come up  with
something new and special to make  your support of us  more interesting  and
attractive.  In this expedition  we want  to introduce a special  QSL called
'fast', which will be sent out  from the very first functioning  post office
on our way back. Those who wish to receive this exclusive card must order it
prior  to  the expedition start" - see https://www.qrz.com/db/ri0q  for  the
details.  "Traditional confirmation"  will be available  via Club Log's OQRS
and LoTW, and  the matching function for paperless QSLs will be enabled  six
months after the end of the expediton.

(Noirmoutier Island 2013), TO7CC (Reunion Island 2014), 7P8C (Lesotho 2016),
TM77CC (Molene Island 2016)  and  most recently  E44CC  (Palestine, February
