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 COMMUNICATION EVENT ---> Held on 6-7 June [425DXN 1518], the "in-
ternational gathering of STAYHOME/STAYSAFE stations and fellow amateur radio
operators was organized as a brief 24 hours event where hams were able to
quickly greet each other, in a contest-like format, in the spirit of well-
being", the Organizing Committee (E21EIC, KO8SCA, OH2BH, OH2MM and PY5EG)
reports. "A total of 18,838 hams from 181 DXCC Entities participated in the
event, using the CW, SSB and FT8 transmission modes. There were 39 regis-
tered STAYHOME/STAYSAFE stations from all continents, making this event a
very unique global undertaking. An impressive 120,181 radio contacts were
made during the event".
The WORLD WINNERS are LY9A (Multi-Mode), PP5JR (SSB), RG9A (CW) and YO9H
(Digital). The CONTINENTAL WINNERS are EA8RM (Africa), LY9A (Europe), PY5KD
(South America), RG9A (Asia), W1UE (North America) and ZL3P (Oceania). The
most productive STAYHOME/STAYSAFE groups that dominated the continental
landscape were from Romania, Brazil and Finland. The detailed results of the
event are available at http://ko8sca.com/results.pdf. The prize lottery will
be organized within the next two-weeks.
"The COVID-19 Communication Event was part of the global STAYHOME activity
from 8 April to 7 June. The OH0-OH9 stations made an impressive 133,000
contacts along with 25,000 FT8 QSOs logged by the Brazilian digital station
ZW5STAYHOME, working hams from a total of 180 countries from all 40 CQ
zones, with other STAYHOME stations totaling almost 290,000 contacts in the
two-month period".
JX0X 2021 ---> The Northern California DX Foundation (http://www.ncdxf.org)
has announced it is granting USD 5,000 to the JX0X DXpedition to Jan Mayen
Island planned for September-October 2021 (http://jx0x.com/). The low bands,
where Jan Mayen is in high demand by DXers in North America and East Asia,
are a primary focus of the team. NCDXF's primary purpose is to help fund
well-organized DXpeditions to desirable DXCC entities like this. During the
last 48 years, NCDXF has granted nearly USD 1.2 million to hundreds of
DXpeditions - helping to put an "all-time-new-one" (ATNO) in the log and
make DX happen for thousands of DXers worldwide. The credit for these large
grants goes to the NCDXF contributors, individuals and clubs who support the
DX community. [TNX AA7A]
T30ET POSTPONED ---> Solomon Airlines has extended the suspension of inter-
national flights until 24 October. "Unfortunately, at the moment, the only
further possibility of reaching Tarawa Island is through Fiji", Alex, 5B4ALX
says, "but further quarantine constraints and two additional flights with
over 100kg of equipment make this alternative unacceptable". His T30ET oper-
ation from Tarawa [425DXN 1504] is again postponed to a later date, while he
continues "to monitor the situation in the hope of better development".
Updates will be posted to http://www.5b4alx.cloud/t30et-tarawa-atoll-2020/.
WRTC 2022: DONOR TEAMS CALL ---> The WRTC 2022 Organizing Committee has an-
nounced that the application process for five Donor Teams is now open. Donor
Teams will be selected on a first-come first-served basis outside the normal
qualification process as part of the fundraising mechanism. Each Donor Team
is expected to help WRTC 2022 by making a donation of at least EUR 15,000.
See https://www.wrtc2022.it/ for the details and the application form. [TNX

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 COMMUNICATION EVENT ---> Held on 6-7 June [425DXN 1518], the "in-
ternational gathering of STAYHOME/STAYSAFE stations and fellow amateur radio
operators was organized as a brief 24 hours event where hams were able to
quickly greet each other, in a contest-like format, in the spirit of well-
being", the Organizing Committee (E21EIC, KO8SCA, OH2BH, OH2MM and PY5EG)
reports. "A total of 18,838 hams from 181 DXCC Entities participated in the
event, using the CW, SSB and FT8 transmission modes. There were 39 regis-
tered STAYHOME/STAYSAFE stations from all continents, making this event a
very unique global undertaking. An impressive 120,181 radio contacts were
made during the event".
The WORLD WINNERS are LY9A (Multi-Mode), PP5JR (SSB), RG9A (CW) and YO9H
(Digital). The CONTINENTAL WINNERS are EA8RM (Africa), LY9A (Europe), PY5KD
(South America), RG9A (Asia), W1UE (North America) and ZL3P (Oceania). The
most productive STAYHOME/STAYSAFE groups that dominated the continental
landscape were from Romania, Brazil and Finland. The detailed results of the
event are available at http://ko8sca.com/results.pdf. The prize lottery will
be organized within the next two-weeks.
"The COVID-19 Communication Event was part of the global STAYHOME activity
from 8 April to 7 June. The OH0-OH9 stations made an impressive 133,000
contacts along with 25,000 FT8 QSOs logged by the Brazilian digital station
ZW5STAYHOME, working hams from a total of 180 countries from all 40 CQ
zones, with other STAYHOME stations totaling almost 290,000 contacts in the
two-month period".
JX0X 2021 ---> The Northern California DX Foundation (http://www.ncdxf.org)
has announced it is granting USD 5,000 to the JX0X DXpedition to Jan Mayen
Island planned for September-October 2021 (http://jx0x.com/). The low bands,
where Jan Mayen is in high demand by DXers in North America and East Asia,
are a primary focus of the team. NCDXF's primary purpose is to help fund
well-organized DXpeditions to desirable DXCC entities like this. During the
last 48 years, NCDXF has granted nearly USD 1.2 million to hundreds of
DXpeditions - helping to put an "all-time-new-one" (ATNO) in the log and
make DX happen for thousands of DXers worldwide. The credit for these large
grants goes to the NCDXF contributors, individuals and clubs who support the
DX community. [TNX AA7A]
T30ET POSTPONED ---> Solomon Airlines has extended the suspension of inter-
national flights until 24 October. "Unfortunately, at the moment, the only
further possibility of reaching Tarawa Island is through Fiji", Alex, 5B4ALX
says, "but further quarantine constraints and two additional flights with
over 100kg of equipment make this alternative unacceptable". His T30ET oper-
ation from Tarawa [425DXN 1504] is again postponed to a later date, while he
continues "to monitor the situation in the hope of better development".
Updates will be posted to http://www.5b4alx.cloud/t30et-tarawa-atoll-2020/.
WRTC 2022: DONOR TEAMS CALL ---> The WRTC 2022 Organizing Committee has an-
nounced that the application process for five Donor Teams is now open. Donor
Teams will be selected on a first-come first-served basis outside the normal
qualification process as part of the fundraising mechanism. Each Donor Team
is expected to help WRTC 2022 by making a donation of at least EUR 15,000.
See https://www.wrtc2022.it/ for the details and the application form. [TNX
