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!
ARCTIC EXPEDITION ---> Simone, IU5KUH will be active as II0PN/mm during AISE
2018, the World Artic Fund's expedition in search of the wreckage of the
airship "Italia" (http://www.worldarcticfund.org/aise2018). He will operate
SSB, CW and PSK on 40, 30 and 20 metres. The expedition will take place
between 1 August and 15 September. QSL direct to IT9MRM.
KH1/KH7Z ---> The QSL design has been finalized and cards are expected to
be in the mail by the beginning of September. Club Log's OQRS is now open at
https://clublog.org/charts/?c=KH1/KH7Z, and o ver 25,600 QSL records have
been uploaded to LoTW already (as a result of OQRS orders and donations)
with over 19,000 matches. A short video "to excite you about
upcoming presentations at your local DX convention our team will be
participating in" is available on https://vimeo.com/281933500. [TNX N1DG]
VP6D ---> "The Ducie Island 2018 project is on schedule", the team reported
on 22 July, and "the fundraising campaign is underway" (see the progress on
https://www.vp6d.com/). VP6D will use the same equipment as KH1/KH7Z. On 20
July the Baker Island radio equipment was returned to Elecraft for
inspection, testing and refurbishing. The equipment will be shipped to New
Zealand on about 15 August, then Z L3CW will transfer the shipment to the
'Braveheart'.
"There's no question that the Baker team had considerable success with FT8.
However, a large percentage of the callers weren't prepared for the
challenges of this new mode". One of VP6D's announced goals is an "extensive
digital operation" using RTTY and FT8, so it is essential to read and
understand the latest revision of the 'FT8 DXpedition Mode User Guide',
which is now available in several different languages at
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html.
"It will be in everyone's best interest if callers use the most recent
software version, correctly configure their equipment, call VP6D above 1000
Hertz and in the correct sequence. If you are unsure of your configuration
please seek assistance before calling".
+ SILENT KEY + Reginald J. Beck, VE7IG (VE1DXA) passed away on 27 July.
First licensed as VE7ANI the day of his 18th birthday in June 1956, he was
an accomplished DXer, a doyen of island chasing and former IOTA Checkpoint
for Canada. Over the years he operated from several DXCC Entities and from a
large number of Canadian islands. Your trulies had the pleasure of hosting
Reg back in 1991, when he travelled to Italy in order to attend the first
ever IOTA Convention.
