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!

KH2/DL2AH ---> Ulrich, DL2AH has had to cancel his activity from Guam (16-30
September). He had "booked and paid from Germany via Airbnb a wonderful ac-
commodation with a huge garden (space enough for five Triple Leg antennas)",
he says, only to find out that "the offer was a fake! By lucky circumstances
I found a new (affordable!) Airbnb - unfortunately without space for my an-
tenna". His next stop will be Majuro, Marshall Islands as V73AH (4-16
October).

T22T ---> Team T22T has been active with four stations from Tuvalu since 3
UTC on 21 September, and according to Club Log has logged some 7500 FT8 QSOs
so far. They have huge noise problems on the low bands. QSL via Club Log's
OQRS. Updates will be posted to https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup.

UK/EI DX SSB CONTEST ---> In partnership with the RSGB, the IRTS and the
GMDX Group, the 2023 UK/EI DX SSB Contest will take place from 12 UTC on
30 September to 12 UTC on 1 October. The aim of this contest is to promote
contacts between stations in the United Kingdom & Ireland and stations in
the rest of the world. See https://www.ukeicc.com/dx-contest-rules.php for
complete details. Next year's events will be held on 27-28 April (CW) and 31
August-1 September (SSB).

V62P & V62S ---> Cezar, VE3LYC will be active as V62P from Pulap Atoll (OC-
155), and as V62S from Satawal Atoll (OC-299) between 25 October and 10 No-
vember [425DXN 1687]. "I just finished a very informative, almost two-hour
Zoom meeting with the boat captain and my contacts down in FSM", he reported
on 21 September. "We reviewed every step of the logistical plan, and the
captain confirmed the transportation schedule I already announced, as well
as a number of other logistical details. Meanwhile, he indicated that rela-
tively small delays may occur, due to weather conditions and/or other un-
foreseen reasons that may arise. However, this is not going to shorten my
stay on each atoll. If anything, my stays will be longer than originally
planned".
Cezar is "extremely grateful for the support received so far from several
organizations and enthusiastic individuals. It was my decision and nobody
else's to embark on this rather complex and expensive endeavour, and I am
prepared to bear its cost". However, he wishes to encourage more IOTA
chasers and DXers to support this project and assist him in offsetting some
of those expenses: https://v6iota.weebly.com/.

W8S: THE PILOTS TEAM ---> The 4-17 October DXpedition to Swains Island will
be assisted by a team of Pilot stations whose job is to report on how things
are going from their location and act as liaisons between the DXpedition and
amateurs in their region:
Europe and Africa Jan, DL7JAN
British Islands John, G4IRN
North America Steve, N2AJ
South America Siso, HK3W
Asia Champ, E21EIC
Oceania Lee, VK3GK
Alex, PA1AW will be the Chief Pilot in charge of gathering all relevant in-
formation from regional pilots and channel such information to the W8S team
on the island. See https://swains2020.lldxt.eu/the-pilots-team/ for the
details.

ZD9W ---> Yuris, YL2GM left Cape Town on 15 September, but the "Lance" is
progressing towards Tristan da Cunha a bit slower than anticipated. As of 19
September, the estimated time of arrival was 26 September (subject to change
based on weather conditions). Bookmark https://www.lral.lv/zd9w/index.html
