C6AGU from Water Cay (NA-001), Bahamas since 19 November and will
remain there until 3 December, including activity during the CQ WW
DX CW Contest and the ARRL 160 Meter Contest. While operating

antennas (a 43-foot vertical for 160/80/40m, a 2-element yagi
vertical for 20-10m, and a 4-square RX antenna) for the 2018
DXpedition to Baker Island (KH1). QSL via HA7RY; neither Club Log
nor LoTW will be used. [TNX DX World]
H40 - Cezar, VE3LYC plans to be active from Taumako Island (OC-179),
Temotu for at least five days in early May 2018. This Most Wanted
IOTA group was activated only once, by H44MS (DL2GCA) back in March
1993. Complete information is expected in due course. [TNX DX News]
HC8 - HC8LUT (not HC8LU as previously announced) is the callsign issued
for the Argentine team [425DXN 1377] to use during their activity
from San Cristobal, Galapagos Islands (SA-004) between 29 November
and 8 December. They will operate SSB and digital modes on 160-6
metres. QSL via IK2DUW and LoTW, logsearch on Club Log. See
https://hc8lu.blogspot.com/ for more information.
HL - Celebrating the XXIII Olympic Winter Games that will be held next
year in PyeongChang (https://www.pyeongchang2018.com/en), special
event station HL0WOP is active until 25 February 2018. QSL via Club
Log's OQRS, eQSL, or via HL4CCM (direct or bureau).

OH9AB, direct or bureau. See http://oh9scl.fi for additional
information.
V8 - Tom, KC0W will be active as V85/KC0W from Brunei from 24 November
to 10 December. QSL via home call (direct only) and logsearch on
Club Log. He does not use LoTW. Tom expected to be active as 3W9CW
from Con Son Island (AS-130), Vietnam until 28 November [425DXN
1385], but "technical reasons" made him go QRT on 15 November with
just 69 QSOs in his log. He then moved to Cambodia, and operated as
XU7XXX on 19-21 November (874 QSOs).
VE - Mikhail, VE7ACN will be active as VE7ACN/7 from Galiano Island
(NA-075) on 24-27 November, including activity during the CQ WW DX
CW Contest. QSL via Club Log's OQRS, LoTW or via home call. [TNX DX
News]
VQ9 - Jim, ND9M is active again as VQ917JC from Diego Garcia (AF-006),
Chagos ISlands. His operating hours are still limited to 13-16 UTC,
as he has to commute between his ship and his operating location on
the island, then set up and break down each time. Usually he
operates mainly CW on 30, 20 and 17 metres. QSL via home call.
ZA - ZA1WW is the callsign for a Multi-Multi entry in the CQ WW DX CW
Contest and a subsequent 160/80m activity hosted by the Kosovo
Amateur Radio Association (SHRAK) and the National Association
Radioamateurs of Albania (NARA) from the coastal area of Durres. On
the low bands they will use vertical radiators next to salt water,
matched by appropriate RX antennas. Dedicated low-band frequencies
after the contest will be 1816.5 kHz and 3526 kHz, both +/- QRM.
Co-led by Z62FB and ZA1F, the team will include local operators
such as ZA1EM (YL) and Z61DX, as well as invited guests (OG2M,
OH1MA, OH2BH, OH2TA and OH3JR). QSL ZA1WW via Club Log's OQRS, LoTW
or via OH2TA. [TNX W6SZN]
ZL - Pisti, HA5OJ celebrates his 60th birthday by touring New Zeland
until late January 2018. He will be active holiday style as
ZL/HA5OJ from Waiheke Island (OC-201) on 22-26 November, from North

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!
3Y0Z: BOUVET 2018 ---> While "the sea container should now be between the
ports of San Antonio, Chile and its destination, Punta Arenas, Chile", the
Team posted on 22 November, "the most recent propagation predictions
continue to support the patterns shown in the videos on our propagation page
(http://www.bouvetdx.org/propagation/)". The band plan has been published,
and it includes FT8. It will not be a primary mode for 3Y0Z, but it will be
used only "when we cannot use the standard, higher rate modes", i.e. "when
the band dies, or before it opens". Detailed guidelines are available at
http://www.bouvetdx.org/band-plan-frequencies/ ("Ten Steps on How to Work
3Y0Z (Bouvet) With FT8").
FT3YL ---> Francois, FT3YL (F4HLT) is now QRT and will be leaving Antarctica
soon. During his stay at the Dumont d'Urville Station on Petrels Island
(AN-017) he made some 1200 QSOs, logged between 15 February and 29 October.
Most contacts were with JA, VK and ZL, with a few US stations and very few
Europeans. Limited spare time combined to "high winds, rigs breakdown and
solar blackout" made his operating "a very hard challenge". QSL via Club
Log's OQRS, LoTW or via F6KPQ (direct or bureau). [TNX F5RAB and F5PHW]
IOTA NEWS ---> 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 then upload your
.cbr or .log file(s). The logs for the IOTA Contest 2017 island stations
(490,394 QSOs) have now been added to the IOTA database and are available
for QSO matching.
YOTA MONTH ---> The Youngsters On The Air group will be active again during
the entire month of December. The idea for this event is to show the amateur
radio hobby to youth and to encourage youngsters to be active on the ham
radio waves. Announced participating stations include 3V8YOTA, 6V1YOTA,
9A0YOTA, 9A17YOTA, DQ17YOTA, DR0YOTA, E71YOTA, EG2YOTA, ET3AA, GB17YOTA,
HB9YOTA, II2YOTA, II5YOTA, LZ17YOTA, OF2YOTA, OL17YOTA, OM9YOTA, ON4YOTA,
PD6YOTA, R17YOTA, SH9YOTA, YO0YOTA, YT17YOTA, Z60YOTA and ZS9YOTA. QSLs via
Club Log's OQRS or direct to M0SDV. See https://events.ham-yota.com/ for
information on the event and the award.
