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 November 2021 issue is available for download
at https://www.425dxn.org/. [TNX IZ3EBA]
COMOROS 2022: POSTPONED ---> Due to the current pandemic situation, "it's
safer for the team not to travel now", Jean-Luc, F1ULQ reports. Consequently
the January 2022 operation organized by the Radio Club de Provins [425DXN
1589] has been postponed to a later date TBA, "when all gets again quieter".
CROZET 2022-23 ---> Thierry, F6CUK has been granted permission to be QRV
from the #3 Most Wanted DXCC Entity for three months (mid-December 2022 to
mid-March 2023) [425DXN 1592]. The official website for this operation is
now online: http://crozet2022.fr (some pages are still incomplete, but will
be updated soon).

from Pag-asa in the Spratly Islands, AS-051 (2 February-12 April 2005). See
https://www.qrz.com/db/EA5GL for instructions.
QSL VIA E73Y ---> After the sudden passing of Robert, E77E in June [425DXN
1571], the QSL management for E76C, E77DX and E7DX has been taken over by
Boris, E73Y. Given that those three logs are regularly uploaded to LoTW,
Boris will accept only direct QSL requests received by post mail (Boris
Knezovic, P.O. Box 59, 71000 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina) or Club Log's
OQRS.
QSO TODAY VIRTUAL HAM EXPO ---> The fourth Virtual Ham Expo organized by
"QSO Today" will be held on 12-13 March on a live virtual reality platform
that simulates a full convention experience. It is now calling for interna-
tional presentations and speakers on any amateur radio topic that would be
of interest to other hams. Very detailed information can be found on
https://www.qsotodayhamexpo.com/speakercall.html. [TNX 4Z1UG]
S21DX ---> The operation started on 40 metres FT8 (F/H mode) on 9 December
at 18 UTC. In accordance with the operating permission granted by the li-
cencing authority, the activity is taking place from Char Kukri Mukri (not
Manpura), which is also valid for IOTA group AS-140. Pictures and updates
can be found on https://www.facebook.com/s21dx. QSL via EB7DX.
UNDELIVERABLE BUREAU CARDS --- > Tim, M0URX reports that some bureau pack-
ages are returned to sender either as "not collected" (e.g. Argentina and
Cuba) or because of "insufficient documentation" (e.g. Brazil, Sweden and
Turkey) - read Tim's alarming post on https://www.m0urx.com/.
+ SILENT KEY + Bill Somerville, G4WJS died suddenly and unexpectedly a few
days ago. He was in his mid-60s. In 2013 he was the first to join Joe, K1JT
in forming a core development group for WSJT-X, and has been closely in-
volved with the project ever since. "Our free, open-source software could
not have achieved its extensive worldwide popularity and influence in ham
radio without Bill's essential contributions", Joe says. "In addition to
writing code for important portions of the Qt-based user interface for
WSJT-X, Bill helped to bring the overall program structure more nearly up to
professional standards. Moreover, he devoted countless hours to program
support, patiently answering user's questions on WSJT-related forums".

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 November 2021 issue is available for download
at https://www.425dxn.org/. [TNX IZ3EBA]
COMOROS 2022: POSTPONED ---> Due to the current pandemic situation, "it's
safer for the team not to travel now", Jean-Luc, F1ULQ reports. Consequently
the January 2022 operation organized by the Radio Club de Provins [425DXN
1589] has been postponed to a later date TBA, "when all gets again quieter".
CROZET 2022-23 ---> Thierry, F6CUK has been granted permission to be QRV
from the #3 Most Wanted DXCC Entity for three months (mid-December 2022 to
mid-March 2023) [425DXN 1592]. The official website for this operation is
now online: http://crozet2022.fr (some pages are still incomplete, but will
be updated soon).
QSL DX0K ---> Pedro, EA5GL has picked up the QSLing for the DX0K operation
from Pag-asa in the Spratly Islands, AS-051 (2 February-12 April 2005). See
https://www.qrz.com/db/EA5GL for instructions.
QSL VIA E73Y ---> After the sudden passing of Robert, E77E in June [425DXN
1571], the QSL management for E76C, E77DX and E7DX has been taken over by
Boris, E73Y. Given that those three logs are regularly uploaded to LoTW,
Boris will accept only direct QSL requests received by post mail (Boris
Knezovic, P.O. Box 59, 71000 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina) or Club Log's
OQRS.
QSO TODAY VIRTUAL HAM EXPO ---> The fourth Virtual Ham Expo organized by
"QSO Today" will be held on 12-13 March on a live virtual reality platform
that simulates a full convention experience. It is now calling for interna-
tional presentations and speakers on any amateur radio topic that would be
of interest to other hams. Very detailed information can be found on
https://www.qsotodayhamexpo.com/speakercall.html. [TNX 4Z1UG]
S21DX ---> The operation started on 40 metres FT8 (F/H mode) on 9 December
at 18 UTC. In accordance with the operating permission granted by the li-
cencing authority, the activity is taking place from Char Kukri Mukri (not
Manpura), which is also valid for IOTA group AS-140. Pictures and updates
can be found on https://www.facebook.com/s21dx. QSL via EB7DX.
UNDELIVERABLE BUREAU CARDS --- > Tim, M0URX reports that some bureau pack-
ages are returned to sender either as "not collected" (e.g. Argentina and
Cuba) or because of "insufficient documentation" (e.g. Brazil, Sweden and
Turkey) - read Tim's alarming post on https://www.m0urx.com/.
+ SILENT KEY + Bill Somerville, G4WJS died suddenly and unexpectedly a few
days ago. He was in his mid-60s. In 2013 he was the first to join Joe, K1JT
in forming a core development group for WSJT-X, and has been closely in-
volved with the project ever since. "Our free, open-source software could
not have achieved its extensive worldwide popularity and influence in ham
radio without Bill's essential contributions", Joe says. "In addition to
writing code for important portions of the Qt-based user interface for
WSJT-X, Bill helped to bring the overall program structure more nearly up to
professional standards. Moreover, he devoted countless hours to program
support, patiently answering user's questions on WSJT-related forums".
