425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The August 2020 issue is now available for down-
load at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]

4V5H ---> Announced for May 2020 and then postponed twice [425DXN 1519], the
4V5H DXpedition to Haiti has been "cancelled indefinitely due to COVID-19
pandemic and current world airlines' uncertainty". [TNX DX World]

DX WORLD ---> "As there is not much DX news nor DXpeditions taking place
nowadays", DX World has added a couple of new features to the popular "DX
World QSL of the Day" (interesting, rare or unique QSL cards) and "DX World
IOTA of the Day" (pictorial views of various islands) that were introduced a
few weeks ago. Whilst the "Weekly Quiz" puts your DX knowledge to the test
(https://www.dx-world.net/quiz/), "DXCC Entities or Islands by Drone" is a
collection of videos "showcasing particular entities or IOTA using only
drone footage". Preceded by Revillagigedo (XF4), Jan Mayen (JX) and Green-
wich Island (AN-010, South Shetlands), the episodes so far include Eritrea
(E3), Flores Island (OC-151, Indonesia) Lakshadweeps (VU7), Mangaia Island
(OC-159, South Cooks), Nepal (9N), Niue (E6), Nuuk (NA-018, Greenland), Oga-
sawara (JD1), San Blas Archipelago (NA-170, Panama), Tuvalu (T2), Uzbekistan
(UK) and Zanzibar Island (AF-032, Tanzania). Three new drone videos will be
published every second day.

TQSL: NEW VERSION ---> A new version (v2.5.5) of LoTW's Trusted QSL (TQSL)
has been released: http://www.arrl.org/tqsl-download. This version has new
features as well as corrections for defects found since TQSL 2.5.4 was
released. This release also includes an update to the most recent TQSL con-
figuration file. TQSL 2.5.5 can be installed to upgrade any older version.
On all three supported platforms (Windows, MacOS and Linux), installing
TQSL 2.5.5 will replace older versions of Trusted QSL while preserving your
Callsign Certificates, Station Locations, and preferences.

+ SILENT KEY + Vilho "Vili" Virtanen, OH3VV passed away on 9 September at 94
years of age. "Vili was one of the most active and internationally known OH
hams in the 1960's through the Finn-Net operated by him and his late XYL,
Irmeli, OH3TJ". Martti, OH2BH recalls. "Vili was involved in a vast variety
of activities and all foreign hams visiting Finland experienced his
hospitality and camaraderie. Vili was a true DXer and contester in the
terms' realest meaning - he had worked them all, Kosovo was his last one. He
was also a contester who participated and won the very first SAC in 1958
(OH5QN), and still jumped into the 60th SAC last year, using a specially
granted callsign, OH2A".
