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!

CQMM DX CONTEST ---> The CQ MM DX Contest, organized by the Juiz de Fora CW
Group (http://www.cwjf.com.br/), will be held on 20-21 April. It will run
from 9 UTC on Saturday through 23.59 on Sunday, on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10
metres CW. Complete details can be found at http://www.cqmmdx.com.

JX7GIA ---> Ken, LA7GIA was on Jan Mayen (EU-022) on 4 April for about five
hours. This time included selecting the QTH, installing and taking down all
gear and antennas. He was active as JX7GIA and made 630 CW QSOs on 20 metres
in four hours. "I really felt like winning a powerball lottery when I was
allowed a free seat at the 3 hour Military flight going from Oslo Military
airport directly to Jan Mayen", he says. "I have been discussing this
possibility with the Military for about 5 years. They have regular flights
going to Jan Mayen, but there are very rarely available seats both ways, and
one also need a special invitation to be allowed to enter this military
flight. They let me know the day before that there was an opportunity. It
was a big surprise to me as I almost had given up this possibility a long
time ago". Read the JX7GIA story on http://la7gia.com/jx7gia/index.html. All
630 QSOs have been uploaded to LoTW; traditional QSLs are via LA7GIA direct
only (note that "if you made a dupe, there is no LoTW, but you will get your
QSO confirmation via direct").

TQSL: NEW VERSION ---> A new version (v2.4.5) of LoTW's Trusted QSL (TQSL)
is now available: http://www.arrl.org/tqsl-download. It has new features as
well as corrections for defects found since TQSL 2.4.3 was released; it also
includes an update to the most recent TQSL configuration file.

XR1RRC ---> After completing the XR0ZRC DXpedition to Juan Fernandez,
Russian Robinson Club's members R7AL, RK8A and RA1ZZ were active as XR1RRC
from Santa Maria Island (SA-069) on 7-10 April. Club Log's OQRS is the only
way to get a QSL card, and it will be enabled as soon as the paper logs are
transferred to electronic format. Club Log's IOTA Matching function will be
enabled after one month only for those who request a direct card or make a
donation.
