425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The November 2018 issue is now available for
download at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]

GREEN KEYS NIGHT ---> The Greenkeys online group is dedicated to the
restoration and use of vintage mechanical teleprinters and related equipment
(the term "greenkeys" itself refers to the color of the keys on Teletype
machines): http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/greenkeys. The group has
announced that the first-ever Green Keys Night (GKN) will be held concurrent
with the Straight Key Night on 1 January 2019, from 0000 to 2359 UTC. This
is an event, not a contest, and participants are encouraged to call "CQ GKN"
and simply make enjoyable, conversational RTTY QSOs. "The use of mechanical
teleprinters is preferred, or simply get on the air with the oldest
equipment you can scrape together - no brag tapes/files, no pre-recorded
messages, but have a real conversation by hand typing it keyboard to
keyboard. But even if you don't have any old equipment, do get on the air
and have some fun QSOs the old fashioned way!" Email Jeff, WK6I
(wk6i.jeff[@]gmail.com) for more information.

TT8KO ---> Ken, LA7GIA has posted the complete story of his unfortunate
DXpedition to Chad at http://la7gia.com/Chad/index.html.
