June 20, 2016

Bonjouir Voici une annonce venant de l’UFT transmise par F5RUJ. Bonne lecture et 73 de Raymond F-15873 f8dsi(a)free.fr En raison de l'acquisition d'un nouveau matériel, je mets en vente un IC-7400 de seconde main, acquis il y a deux ans après le passage en SK de Bernard, F5HEW. Cet appareil avait subi 'la' panne d'affichage connue sur certains modèles et séries de la gamme Icom; le transistor CMS du circuit display a donc été remplacé par un modèle plus 'conséquent', fixé sur une face du boitier contenant le circuit en question, face lui servant de radiateur. Depuis cette réparation, il y a deux ans, cet appareil n'a plus posé le moindre problème de fonctionnement. Ce transceiver est livré dans sa boite d'origine, avec un micro de table SM-20, le cordon d'alimentation et son filtre, ainsi que sa notice d'utilisation, en français et en anglais. Il peut être récupéré sur place, à mon QRA du 83 ou en région toulonnaise. Il peut également être livré sur le trajet Var-Vienne (38) et Vienne -Limousin durant la semaine 25, ou alors sur le trajet Var/Lorraine vers la mi juillet. Ce transceiver (100W/HF/50/144MHz), coté actuellement à 870€ au niveau de l'argus, est vendu à 800€, à débattre.

The 2015 Best Communication Award has been assigned to K1N (Navassa Island).

This issue contains the story of VK9WA (Willis Island, November 2015) and a report by Roger Western (G3SXW) on some recent efforts in Europe to track down a source of deliberate QRM (DQRM). [TNX K8YC] IOTA NEWS: AN APPEAL TO JOIN FRIENDS OF IOTA ---> We referred earlier [425DXN #1303] "to the commitment of the new company, Islands on the Air (IOTA) Ltd, to the paperless QSLing project that will allow electronic confirmation of contacts. Much progress has been made and some elements of this work are scheduled to be launched very soon on the existing system on the IOTA website. The new system itself will come on stream in early 2017. While paperless QSLing offers the IOTA Community huge savings in costs, the software development involved requires substantial investment, the more so as it has to be grafted on to a system that will continue to accept paper cards. To help meet these costs, the new company has launched Friends of IOTA as a supporters’ group within Islands on the Air (IOTA) Ltd. Its aim is to give IOTA enthusiasts the opportunity not only to participate in one of the most active DX programmes in the world but also to support it with donations to ensure its long-term future". See www.rsgbiota.org [TNX G3KMA] IOTA NEWS: DELETION OF KINGMAN REEF ---> "As forecast as a strong likelihood in the 2016 IOTA Directory (page 50), IOTA Management has decided to delete Kingman Reef (OC-096) from the IOTA list, effective 29 March 2016. Kingman Reef lost its current DXCC status on that date as it no longer satisfied the criteria under which it was added. IOTA Rule E.5.5 states that an island that qualifies for separate listing only because it is a DXCC entity will have a start and / or deletion date for credit in line with DXCC decisions and that in the event of an island DXCC entity being deleted, the IOTA group number will normally be archived and score credits moved on request to the IOTA group to which the island or islands are transferred. Kingman Reef is just such an island, and the transfer in this case is to Palmyra Atoll (OC-085). Before the end of June, credits for OC-096 will be deleted from all records. In accordance with the rule participants may claim credit with Kingman Reef QSOs for OC-085 if they need credit there - there are no date restrictions. To save questions, IOTA does not maintain a database of credits with deleted / archived IOTAs". [TNX G3KMA] QSL 4U1ITU & 4U1UN ---> Bring your QSO data with you and get your QSLs for 4U0ITU (2015), 4U150ITU (2015), 4U1UN, 4U70UN and 4UITU at the Swiss DX Foundation's booth (A1-461-2) at Hamradio 2016 (Friedrichshafen) on 24-25 June. Additionally you can also get QSL cards for HB14SAF, HB9SOLAR and HB9SPACE. [TNX HB9BOU] YASME FOUNDATION GRANTS ---> On 15 June the Board of Directors of the Yasme Foundation (www.yasme.org) announced three grants in furtherance of Yasme’s goal of encouraging youth participation in amateur radio and operating activities. The sixth edition of the Youngsters on the Air (YOTA) conference will take place in July 2016 in Austria, and YASME is pleased to assist in helping young amateurs attend this meeting that otherwise would be unable to attend. 1. AMATEUR RADIO ASSOCIATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO (SHRAK) The Yasme grant will enable two youth amateur radio operators from Kosovo to attend the YOTA conference. This will be the first time these amateurs will have travelled outside their home country. SHRAK was recently admitted to the IARU as a member society, an additional step toward enabling Kosovo to be added to the ARRL DXCC entity list. 2. ETHIOPIAN AMATEUR RADIO SOCIETY (EARS) Two youth operators from EARS will also be attending the YOTA conference. This extends Yasme’s support of the ET3AA station and the previous grant enabling travel by EARS members to participate in the 2016 ARI International DX Contest from Estonia. EARS member participation furthers amateur radio activity from eastern Africa and encourages interest in amateur radio by other African youth. 3. NORTH AMERICAN PARTICIPANTS Three young amateurs from the United States will also attend the YOTA meeting with the assistance of the Yasme grant and a similar grant from the Northern California DX Foundation. As invited members of IARU in ITU Region 2, it is the hope of both Boards that they will return with ideas for extending the successes of YOTA to young North American amateurs.

A serious DXer with 339/356 (current/total) in the DXCC Honor Roll standings, he was also one of the doyens of island chasing in Italy and got his initial IOTA certificate in 1979. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- QSLs received direct or through managers: 3W2BR (AS-130), 4S7GWG, 5A1AL, 6Y4K, 8R1/K9KX, 9M0S, A91HI (AS-202), AT5P (AS-173), DA0HEL (EU-127), E44YL, E6AC, EI9FBB (EU-103), EP2A, FH/F2DX, FR/DG5AA, H44MS, HI3TEJ, HS3NBR/p (AS-145), LY26A, O19VB, P40MB, PQ150ITU, PU0R/PU0FDN (SA-038), PW0FN, PX150ITU, PZ50X, R00KVB, S01WS, S9BK, SV2RSG, TI0RC, TX7EU, VE7ACN/7 (NA-051 and NA-061), VK0EK, VK4AAC/5 (OC-139), VP8SGI, VP8STI, XU7AKC, YW4D, ZW150ITU. **************************************************************************** 425 DX NEWS HOME PAGE: http://www.425dxn.org 425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE: http://www.425dxn.org/monthly **************************************************************************** 425 DX News is a free of charge weekly bulletin edited by Mauro Pregliasco, I1JQJ and Valeria Pregliasco, IK1ADH Its contents may be used, reproduced and distributed in part or full provided that "425 DX News" or "425DXN" receive proper credit Contributors are invited to send their DX information to Mauro Pregliasco, I1JQJ (425dxn(a)alice.it) The deadline is 12 UTC on Fridays **************************************************************************** Direttore Responsabile Gabriele Villa, I2VGW Giornalista Professionista - Tessera n. 071675 Ordine Nazionale dei Giornalisti Roma, Italia ****************************************************************************
