CQ DX MARATHON ---> The CQ DX Marathon is a year-long DX hunt, with
participants competing to see who can work the greatest number of countries
("entities") and CQ zones during the calendar year. The 2022 edition will
start at 00.00 UTC on 1 January and will end at 23.59 UTC on 31 December.
Complete details can be found at http://www.dxmarathon.com/.

DX SOUND CLIPS ---> Tom's (K8CX) DX sound clips for 2021 can be found at
http://hamgallery.com/dx2021/. The large collection of clips (MP3 format)
covers DXpeditions, rare and semi-rare DX. This makes 24 full years of sound
clips available.

KH1, KH3, KH5, KH9 ---> The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), as co-leads, have
announced their intention to prepare a Monument Management Plan for the
Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. The PRIMNM includes the
current DXCC Entities of Baker & Howland (KH1), Johnston (KH3), Palmyra &
Jarvis (KH5) and Wake (KH9). The "Permit system for allowable public activi-
ties" is listed among the "preliminary issues, concerns, and opportunities
that may be addressed in the MMP", and for which NOAA and USFWS are seeking
comments and input. The document can be found on the US Federal Register's
website (https://www.federalregister.gov/, search for 2021-27535). Since
2019, Don Greenbaum (N1DG) has been the appointed Citizen at Large represen-
tative on the NOAA/USFWS Community Group providing input on drafting the new
management plan for the PRIMNM.

QSL 9N1DX ---> "Over the past few days I have manually entered over 1100 new
QSOs into the 9N1DX logbook at https://www.m0oxo.com/oqrs/logsearch.php)",
Charles, M0OXO reports. "The log contains the 6m QSOs made before she went
QRT. This upload now completes her full logbook which I have been trying to
obtain for the last 6 months". For the time being only paper QSL cards are
available, as "I do not have any documentation from 9N1DX, nor do I have her
written permission which would allow ARRL to supply me with an LoTW certifi-
cate".

QSL JW2T ---> Effective immediately, Pedro, EA5GL has picked up the direct
and bureau QSLing for JW2T, operated by Stian, LB5SH during the CQ WW WPX
SSB Contest 2021 (27-28 March).
