Popov Island (AS-066) on 10-14 October. Look for them to operate CW

January. Operators are likely to include G3ZAY, G7SOZ, G7VJR,
M0BBB, M0BLF, M0VFC, M0WUT and M0ZXA. The team will be QRV with 400
watts and up to four stations on 160-10 metres (in principle, as
little propagation is expected above 21 MHz). Activity on 60 metres
is unlikely as they will be limited to 15 watts EIRP. Antennas will
be verticals and the main modes will be CW and SSB. The group will
not be on FT8 or FT4. QSL via LoTW and Club Log's OQRS only. See
https://zc4uw.com/ for more information in due course. [TNX G3ZAY]

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!
425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The September 2019 issue is now available for
download at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]
5K0K ---> The Czech DXpedition Team will be active as 5K0K from San Andres
(NA-033) [425DXN 1478] between 15 and 28 October, with full force in place
on 17-27 October (CQ WW DX SSB Contest included). Plans are for FT8 to be
their primary digital mode, and they will be using MSHV's multi answer
protocol (not to be confused with the Fox & Hound mode). "If you hear us on
the normal FT8 frequencies, we will not be in the multi-slot mode and
working one station at a time", they say. If the number of callers is high,
they will QSY to their announced DXpedition frequencies: 1844 kHz (1908 kHz
for JA), 3590, 7065, 10145, 14085, 18117, 21110, 24918, 28095 and 50328 kHz.
Use the locator when calling 5K0K, as "MSHV will be configured that the
distant station will have the priority in the queue". Read the "5K0K FT8
Operation Guide" on http://www.cdxp.cz/. If the connection to the Internet
is "fast and stable", the logs will be posted in real time to QSO Director
(http://www.qsodirector.com/event/5k0k/) and Club Log's Live Streams
(https://clublog.org/livestream/5k0k).
TX7T ---> The Can-Am DXpedition team [425DXN 1477] will arrive in French
Polynesia on 3 November. While in Tahiti (FO), there will be some activity -
including low bands - for a couple of days/nights. The team will move on to
Hiva Oa (Marquesas Islands) on 6 November, and will depart for home on the
19th. While in the Marquesas, there will be 3-4 four stations active as TX7T
on 160-6 metres CW, SSB and FT8. Check out https://marquesas2019.com/ for
more details.
Operators are K4UEE, K5PI (team leader), W5MJ, W5RF, W5SJ, VA7DX, VE7KW and
F6BCW. Europe is a key target area and every attempt will be made to take
advantage of propagation. Pilots are DL9GFB (Chief Pilot), N2SG and N7BT.
QSL via M0URX's OQRS and LoTW. This DXpedition is mostly funded by the
operators. However, contributions are most welcome and will go toward their
freight and shipping costs. [TNX K4UEE]
VP6R ---> Hal, W8HC - a team member of the upcoming DXpedition to Pitcairn
Island [425DXN 1483] - says he "will be taking along his Garmin Satellite
tracker once again", so "if you are interested, you may follow along with
this adventure in near real time at https://share.garmin.com/vp6r".
Ralph, K0IR has had to withdraw from the DXpedition project: "I experienced
a sudden and relatively severe, acute illness and was hospitalized for a
number of days", he says. "I am recovering at home, but the risk of
compromising the DXpedition to Pitcairn Island is too great for me to make
the trip with the team. My friend Glenn, W0GJ, will take on my responsibili-
ties and the DXpedition will proceed as otherwise planned". It was not pos-
sible to find a replacement for Ralph, as "many potential substitutes were
unable to clear their schedules to be gone for a month with just a few hours
notice".
The rest of the team is ready to go. On 15 October they will fly from
Papeete to Mangareva, where the "Braveheart" will be waiting for them. They
will set sail almost immediately for Pitcairn, and reach their destination
on 17 October. "All of the cargo is already at our operating site", the say.
"We will work hard that first day to get as many antennas up as possible to
get on the air by the end of the day, Thursday, October 17. We must QRT by
November 2 to make it back to Mangareva to catch the weekly flight again".
W8S ---> The website for the W8S DXpedition to Swains Island (10-25 March
2020) [425DXN 1482] is under construction at https://swains2020.lldxt.eu/.
Ten operators (AG4W, DJ9HX, DJ9ON, DL2AMD, DL6JGN, DL6KVA, KO8SCA, PA3EWP,
PA4WM and PG5M) will be active on 160-10 metres CW, SSB, FT8 and RTTY with
four stations 24/7 from two operating sites.
ZK3A ---> The Tokelau DXpedition went QRT soon after 22 UTC on 8 October,
earlier than planned. All team members are fine, but "a person on the
island is ill", the team reported. "So they have sent the boat there early
to get this person medical help. The team has ceased operations and packing
up all equipment to get on that boat because there will not be another boat
for ten days". According to the latest update on Club Log, 51260 QSOs were
made with 14376 unique callsigns from Asia (38.3%), North America (37.4%),
Europe (18.9%) and the rest of the world (5.5%). The most productive band
was 20m (13060 QSOs); the most productive mode was CW (29343 QSOs), followed
by FT8 (11275), SSB (8443) and RTTY (2199). A Log Check Request Form (see
https://tokelau2019.com/qsl-information) is available for Busted Call or Not
in Log situations; direct email requests will not be accepted.
