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!

3Y0J: LOTW STATUS ---> "All LoTW have been uploaded for anyone OQRS, direct
mailed card, or upfront donors greater than or equal to $15", LA7GIA posted
to Facebook on 4 May. "There have been a few issues with entries uploaded
not showing up, we are working on this. If you have not received LoTW and
you have OQRS, please email kenneth@opskar.no and we will take care of it.
Complete log will be uploaded to LoTW when we enable free buro cards".

3Y0J:: QSL STATUS ---> "The team is working on preparing the callsign and
address for all our upfront donors", LA7GIA posted to Facebook on 4 May.
"This is a very time consuming process that comes on top of our daily work,
travel and other duties. We have spent considerable amount of time on this.
Unfortunately our 1100 upfront donors that made a QSO need to have their
address transferred to the QSL system, and this is what takes time.
The delay is entirely with the team and NOT the QSL manager.
Hopefully we can submit all information to our QSL manager rather sooner
than later, but we cannot promise any date as it also depends on our regular
daily work load, especially since we do travel in our jobs.
In addition the 3Y0J container arrived two weeks ago in Oslo and we are busy
with unloading container, repacking the equipment and prepare storage. In
addition we are selling equipment we don't need".

DX0NE ---> QSOs for the current one-man operation from the Spratly Islands
are being uploaded to https://www.mdxc.support/dx0ne/log/. As of 4 May at
01.01 UTC Gil, 4F2KWT had made 5139 QSOs, with 2886 unique callsigns.

QSL GALLERY ---> The large collection of QSL cards on Les Nouvelles DX's
website has been updated. Seventeen different galleries include 21,313 cards
for the ten Most Wanted DXCC Entities (2013-22), the 62 deleted DXCC
Entities, obsolete prefixes, stations from Maghreb from 1945 to 1962,
Allied Forces stations in Germany (1945-80), special stations commemorating
ITU and IARU, stations using the United Nations prefix (4U), Antarctic bases
and TAAF (Terres Australes et Antarctiques Francaises), amateur radio
"globetrotters", the various French DXCC island Entities in the Pacific
Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Americas (1945-1969), pre-1945 countries,
French Departments and CONUS, plus a gallery for cards not accepted by DXCC.
Your participation is welcome: http://www.lesnouvellesdx.fr/galerieqsl.php.
[TNX F6AJA].

QSL VIA IT9EJW ---> Club Log's OQRS has been enabled for XF2C (NA-135), XF3O
(NA-090), XF3M (NA-045) and XF3H (NA-045). Please note that on 9 April,
between 14.15 UTC and 19.10 UTC, the operator (Enrique, XE2AA) used XF3M by
error. The correct callsign XF3O should have been XF3O, and Enrique invites
those who had a QSO with 'XF3M' during that time frame to amend their logs.
After processing incoming requests for direct cards, all of the remaining
QSOs will be confirmed automatically via the bureau. [TNX IT9EJW]

T30UN ---> Team T30UN went QRT on 30 April at 17.35 UTC, when their third
and last generator died. They are now making preparations for the T31TT
DXpedition to Kanton Island, Central Kiribati [425DXN 1665]. They expect to
be heading to T31 on 23 May. Bookmark https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup
