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!
HD1X: CANCELLED ---> The 31 October-3 November operation from the Choco eco-
region of Ecuador [425DXN 1535] has been cancelled owing to "the uncertainty
of local policies regarding mobility and other health measures". New dates
will be announced as soon as possible: https://twitter.com/HCDX_Group.
IOTA NEWS ---> The logs for the IOTA Contest 2020 island stations have now
been added to the IOTA database and are available for QSO matching. Record-
holders who have made IOTA contacts in an IOTA contest after 2003, can claim
credit for them without submitting QSLs, provided that the contact details
match. Go to https://iota-world.org/, log in, select "Add Contest QSOs"
under the "My IOTA" tab, and choose either "Upload Contest Log" or "Manual
QSO Entry".
JX0X: CANCELLED ---> The DXpedition to Jan Mayen (18 September-2 October
2021) has been cancelled. "While we worked hard for 18 months to secure the
entry permit, the permit to stay onshore, the fundraising and the logistics
- we have come to the conclusion that there are too many uncertainties
involved in this project", the JX0X team announced on 26 October. "There is
not a single reason that we cancel, but rather several reasons right up to
today that altogether makes this a difficult project to complete. We would
like to thank everybody who donated upfront to the JX0X DXpedition, and who
believed in our team and our project. You all made a contribution to have
the opportunity to work us guys next year, and you all made a difference no
matter what you donated. It is people like you who donated upfront that
makes DXing happen. Without upfront donations we will see less tent and
generator DXpeditions to expensive places. We will start refunding 100% all
paypal donations, and you should see your support returned soon".
QSL VIA PA1AW ---> Alex, PA1AW has picked up the QSLing duties for the sta-
tions previously managed by PA3CAL. These include past operations (PA143ITU,
PA200NL, PA65VERON, PA6WPX, PA80ZERO, PH100MGY, PH100SPL, PH6Q, PH75AJU,
PI25COM, PI60HQ, PI70VERON) as well as active callsigns PI4COM, PI4HQ and
PA6HQ (VERON's HQ station in the IARU HF World Championship).
ZV1M: CANCELLED ---> The 29 October-1 November IOTA DXpedition to Ilha das
Palmas (SA-079) [425DXN 1535] has been cancelled owing to adverse weather
forecast.
