Enjoy! 9E1C ---> Gabriele, IK3GES (ik3ges[(a)]alice.it) has uploaded to LoTW the logs for IV3OWC's activity as 9E1C from Ethiopia (some 36,000 QSO made between 23 January 1999 and 29 November 2000). EL2DT RADIO FUND ---> Dickson, EL2DT participated in the attempt to activate Baiyah Island (AF-111), a new IOTA, in November 2017. You can find the story here: https://af111new.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/5l3bi-story-pdf.pdf. "The outcome of the expedition was that the team was unsuccessful in even landing on the island. The financial losses were significant for everyone. In addition to the money, Dickson's primary home station radio (an older TS-50) was dunked in the sea and is a total loss". When the Voodoo Contest Group left Liberia in 2012, they donated one of their Kenwood TS-930s to Dickson. "He quickly discovered that it only ran on 110/220 VAC and is a current hog. So he acquired the TS-50 and most of his operating has been from battery power. Since he has no power at his home, he must pay his neighbor to run a generator to re-charge the battery". Bud, N7CW is now soliciting "donations for 1 of 2 solutions to Dickson's problem of getting back on the air. He can purchase a generator in-country to run the 930. This option has the added benefit of providing power to his home at other times, however, gasoline is expensive and sometimes hard to find. The second alternative is to find or buy him a replacement radio, perhaps another TS-50, an IC-706, an FT-857/897 or something similar. The negative side of a radio is that we have to get it into Liberia, which usually means finding someone willing to carry it in their personal luggage". If you have a radio you can donate, please let Bud know (bsemon[(a)]gmail.com) as soon as possible. He would prefer not to collect money if he can find a radio. If you wish to donate money, he has set up a MoneyPool with PayPal at this link: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/802uhKeOBz. [TNX N6VR] VK IOTA POLL --- > Craig, VK5CE is planning "a range of rare and semi-rare IOTA operations". He invites island chasers to visit the new VK IOTA website (www.vkiota.wordpress.com) and take the poll (click on "What VK IOTA's do you need?") to help guide his future IOTA activations. WRTC 2018 ---> WRTC 2018 e.V., host of the 2018 World Radiosport Team Championship in Germany, has announced the 65 referees (63 on site and 2 alternates) that will be monitoring the teams during the competition (14-15 July 2018): AA4NC, AJ9C, CE3CT, DK3GI, DL2OBF, DL7FER, DM5EE, ES5RY, G0CKV, G4BUO, HA3NU, HB9CAT, HB9DHG, I2WIJ, IK1HJS, JH4RHF, JK3GAD, K1CC, K1RX, K4AB, K4BAI, K7BV, K7GK, K9ZO, KC7V, KU5B, LW9EOC, LY7Z, LZ2HM, N2GA, N2IC, N3RD, N6AN, NF4A, NN3W, OE5OHO, OE6MBG, OH1RX, OK2FD, OZ1IKY, PA3AAV, PP5BZ, RC0F, RM2D, S50R, S50XX, S53R, S56A, SP4Z, UA9MA, UT7QF, VA2EW, VA2WA, VE3EY, VE3XB, W0YK, W1UE, W1VE, W6OAT, W6PH, YL1ZF, YL2KL, YT6W, YT7AW, YU1EA. A referee will be on site at each of the 63 competing stations to verify compliance with the rules and make decisions on any rule questions by the teams. The referees must be top-level contesters because they must simultaneously listen to the audio from both operators for the entire 24 hours of the WRTC2018 competition. The referee application and verification process was managed by Ulf Ehrlich, DL5AXX. There were over 130 applications received. The selection process considered many factors, including geographical areas, language skills and SO2R ability. The final selection was done by the Judging Committee of the WRTC 2018. + SILENT KEYS + World class contester Jim Sullivan, W7EJ passed away a few days ago aged 64. His contest career began in 1973 and in 1989 he started to operate outside the US. He constructed three stations in DX locations - FG5R 9M8R and CN2R (http://cn2r.net) - where he achieved several records in the CQWW, WPX, RUDXC, and CQ160 DX contests. Besides being a top-notch single operator, Jim contributed to several winning multi efforts. Ulrich Bihlmayer, DJ9KR passed away on 16 December after a long illness. "Uli served in the DARC Bandwacht for 45 years of which 26 years as Coordinator", IARU Region 1 reports. In 2005 he was appointed deputy coordinator of the IARU Region 1 Monitoring System. "Together with IARUMS coordinator Wolfgang Hadel DK2OM, he led a team that grew from 5 to 24 members. Being a polyglot, Uli specialised in broadcast intruders and pirates on telephony. Uli was presented the IARU Region 1 medal in 2011 before he stepped down from the IARU Region 1 Monitoring System in 2012". =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* QSL ROUTES ******* =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW =================================================================== CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER =================================================================== 3B9FR M0OXO D80MT DS3EXX OH1NAVY OH1AJ 3G1D XQ1FM DM1517L DL5AWI P3X 5B4AMM 3G2M CE2MVF DM60BER DL1BWU PA6YOTA M0SDV 3V8CB LX1NO DT23WOP HL1IWD PF44FF PH0NO 3V8YOTA M0SDV E51DXX AG1LE PI40BOZ PD3JAG 3W3B E21EIC ED1L EA3AH PJ4DX M0URX 3W9XG DF2XG ED8H EA8ARI PT3T PY3AA 3Z0XMAS SP6IEQ EG5ERC EB5AG PV2B PU2VJI 3Z560SC SP7KMX EG8NB EA8NB PW5T PP5NY 4E1ADW 9V1KG ES9YOTA M0SDV R100FSB UA3FQ 4O4A LX1NO ET3AA N2OO R100KGB UA3FQ 4U1WB KK4HD EY8MM K1BV S500R S53M 4X6TT N4GNR FK8GX W3HNK S510PMC S59DCD 5B4AAB G8CLY FR5FC EA7FTR SN150MJP SP3PGR 5B4ALG EC5AC G6MC G2YL SN20WHL SP2TMT 5B4XMAS IZ4AMS GB2GM G3UCQ SP20ZIP SP5ZIP 5P8VW DJ8VW GM5X N3SL TC630MECCA TA3X 5R8UI IZ8CCW H2017PFO 5B4AIE TI3/N8JAJ K8EF 5Z4BU EA5GL HA60KNA HA3KNA TI5/N3KS W4FS 8P9AR DD0VR HF0HERTZ SP5PPA TI7W W4FS 8P9JB J69Z HF0HW SP3PWL TK/NZ1C DD5ZZ 8Q7RB GM4DLG HF2018HNY SP2PBM TM0W F2CT 9A57AX 9A5AX HI3Y RW6HS TR8CA F6CBC 9H3CW DL5SE HK1MW N2OO UE80S UA3SLB 9H3YY DL2JRM HK3C NR6M V31MA M0OXO 9J2BO G3TEV HR2DMR KD4POJ VK8NSB M0URX 9K2BS A61BK HZ1SK IZ8CLM XV9NPS JA2NPS [b] 9V1YC W5UE IY3VE IQ3ME XV9NPS JA2ODB [d] 9X9PJ N4GNR J28ND S57DX YO13IPA YO3AS A41CK A61BK JY4CI K2AX YP0XMAS YO9FNP A91ND A92AA JY5MM IK2DUW YP2018HNY YO3KPA AC2BF/KH2 JA1OHP KC4AAA K1IED YP2XMAS YO9FNP AT6MIT VU3BUN KH6YY K2PF YP5XMAS YO9FNP C5YK ON7YK LQ0D EC5AC YP9XMAS YO9FNP C93PA PA5X LY2017XMAS LY2QT YS1/HR2DMR KD4POJ CB3R XQ3SK LZ105PBP LZ1ZF YT0W YU1JW CE2AWW N7RO LZ5R LZ1YQ YT800YU YU1MM CN17JIM EA7FTR M3I G3SWH YT8A YU1EA CP5HK EC5AC MX0SNB G3SVK YW2LV YV5YMA CS2017RCL CS0RCL OD5KU EB7DX Z60YOTA M0SDV CV7S CX7SS OD5VB EA5GL ZF2YL AE9YL CX2BR EA5GL OF0BHU OH0BHU ZS9YOTA M0SDV D41CV IK2NCJ OH100FIN OH3ZQ ZZ2P PY2AA 7X5FG Mohamed Khamla, 37 Clos des Blaches, 38550 St Maurice L'Exil, France CE7VPQ Javier Capdebilla Alvarado, 22 de Mayo 274, 5790166 Quellon, Region de Los Lagos, Cile FR4QT Mario Xavier Laporte, 653 Chemin des Longanis, St Gilles les Hauts, 97435 St Paul, France H44DA Shane Lynd, 17 Atherton Crescent, Glenden QLD 4743, Australia WX3MAS Christmas City ARC, 14 Gracedale Ave, Greystone Building, Nazareth, PA 18064-9211, USA XR2K Luis Matho, 2303 Nordok Place, Alexandria VA 22306, USA ZT1T Tom Morgan, 58 Piet Retief Street, Robertson, 6705, South Africa ZW5T Marcelo Teixeira, Rua Francisco Maravalhas 246, Curitiba-PR, 81540-360, Brazil ZZ4X Marcio Henrique dos Reis Lopes, Rua Oscavo Gonzaga Prata 150, Juiz de Fora-MG, 36033-220, Brazil **************************************************************************** 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 (i1jqj.mauro(a)gmail.com) The deadline is 12 UTC on Fridays **************************************************************************** Direttore Responsabile Gabriele Villa, I2VGW Giornalista Professionista - Tessera n. 071675 Ordine Nazionale dei Giornalisti Roma, Italia
