QSL via M0OXO (OQRS for direct and bureau cards on his website); updates will be posted to www.m0oxo.com/dx8dx.html [TNX VK3FY] E3 - Zorro, JH1AJT started activity as E30FB at 12 UTC on 17 September and made some 1400 QSOs by 2 UTC on the 19th. He will try to be QRV as much as possible in his limited spare time until the 22nd [425DXN 1219], with better signals as the missing amplifier eventually made it to Asmara. Activity has been on 15 and 20 metres so far, with operations on 17 metres planned during the weekend. He has no access to the Internet, so logsearch will be available only when he returns home. "We will also provide OQRS and LoTW confirmation in due course", JA1TRC says.

"They also plan to proceed with an experiment of real and virtual Amateur Radio coexisting by conducting a first-ever activity from Market in Virtual Reality". This operation is part of the celebrations for the Golden Jubilee the OH-DX-Ring (OH2AM), created back in August 1964 by "a bunch of schoolboys" whose idea was "to form a club focusing on DX and contests and reaching out beyond the borders of their own country". Read the "Recap of OH-DX-Ring" on www.qrz.com/db/OJ0AM, and expect also OH0AM (Aland Islands) and OF2AM to appear on the bands during the next coming weeks. QSLs via OH2BH, with "special certificate size combo OF2AM/OH0AM/OJ0AM QSL cards for those contacting all three stations". [TNX OH2BH] OZ - Mike, DG5LAC will be active holiday style as OZ/DG5LAC from Romo Island (EU-125) from 27 September to 3 October. He will be QRV on 80-10 metres SSB. QSL via home call, bureau or direct, plus LoTW and eQSL. [TNX rsgbiota.org] PJ7 - A team of five operators plans to be active from IOTA group NA-247 (St.Maarten's coastal islands, new one) in late September/early October.

SAC 2014 ---> Organized by the Nordic Amateur Radio Union, the Scandinavian Activity Contest's aim is for Scandinavian stations to work as many non-Scandinavian stations as possible and vice versa.

The dates and times for this year's contest (SAC) are: CW 20-21 September (12 UTC to 12 UTC) SSB 11-12 October (12 UTC to 12 UTC) Complete information of the SAC events can be found at www.sactest.net.

"We hope to have at least two of the stations working and at least one aerial up for that evening. The emphasis the next day will be installing the contest band antennas all ready for the Oceania DX contest SSB leg later on that day. Soon after the contest, we'll be adding the WARC band antennas and 6m set-up, and when time permits the 160m antenna. We will be looking for openings to South America and Africa, the two continents most needing YJ for a new one, so if you're outside these areas, please QRX for the very short time it will take to work through callers. Regarding the Oceania SSB and CW legs, Clublog real-time uploads will be switched off during this time and uploaded soon after the contest ends". =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* QSL ROUTES ******* =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW =================================================================== CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER =================================================================== 3B8BAE K5XK EG5VAL EA5DM PX2A PY2VM 3Z0TECH 3Z6AEF EG6RAY EA6QY S01MZ EA1BT 3Z50AYP SP7DQR EG7MAL EA7RM S79LCA HB9LCA 4K6FO DC9RI EG7SFC EC7AKV SN0S SP5IOU 4O0HST SP1RKR EG7UDA EB7KA SP55DXC SP7DQR 4U20B 9A2AA EG8COR EA8URL SW8WW HA0HW 5H9GB G4SVV EH2HJ EA2IR SX2IMA SV2JAO 5Q1A/p OZ5ESB FS/PJ7MF IZ1MHY T6EU AK4JK 5R8SV G3SWH GB0SBC MM3YMU T6T RW6HS 5W1SA JA1DXA GB2LGR G4NRZ T6YA F5OGL 8P2K KU9C GB4ADU G4LRG T88KH BM2JCC 8Q7AF EA1AF GB70BTF G4LRG TA7AOF TA1HZ 9H3JA EA5IDQ GD0EMG/p G3NKC TF/NA8O JK1FNL 9H5G NI5DX GW0AAA/p G3TXF TG9/AB0FU JA2SWH 9H9NC 9H1SP GX8HRC G3SVK TG9NT RW6HS 9K9GHL 9K2QA HB9SOLAR HB9ACA TM1MAD F5KLJ 9M4DX JA6IDJ HC1GVT KK4GV TM27NN F5KTU 9M51CP 9M2RDX HF0S SP5XHJ TM36CDXC F5CWU 9M51RP 9M2GET HF200P SP9PKE TM59FDL F5KDB 9M51SB 9M6ZIM HF80PLOCK SP5ZBA TM77AR F5NTZ 9M51TR 9M2FUL HG0WFF HA0HW TM80CLC F8KHS 9M6XRO M0URX HG140JLO HA8KW TM850CS F6FNA A25TQ N6TQ HG15SPORT HA7PL TM89IARU F6KMF A52AEF JH3AEF HS0ZFS LX1KQ TY1AA I2YSB AH0CO JA1JHQ II0IABJ IK0ZME TZ6HY DJ9ZB AP2TN DJ9ZB II0IAET IZ0EUX UE16HQ R4AAS C91GBA EA4GBA II0IAML IS0IGV UE16MM RN3RQ CG3C VE3RHE II0IGZF IZ0FVD UE16MP RY2S CO6HLP EA7FTR II1IAST IK1RKN UE16MT R4AAS CO6LC IZ1GDB II5IHLP I5NQK UE16SA UA6ABE CR5MV CR7AKN II9IAGM IT9YEM UE16SF UA3RF CR6LH CT1GZB II9IAIQ IT9CFP UE16ST R9XC CY0C VE1RGB IR2ENG I2MYF UN160G UN0GL D44KS EB7DX IS0/3Z0R SP9SX UO160G UN0GL D8A 6K5YPD J47ALT SZ2T UP160G UN0GL DB50FIRAC DL8DWL KH2/KH0K JE4SMQ V26K AA3B DP0GVN DL5EBE KI1U/VE9 KI1U V26OC N3OC DR20RAFG DK0GSK LX/PA1AW PA1AW VK6ISL VE3LYC E2A E21EIC LX/PA3EWP PA1AW VK9AN N7QT E2C E20PFE LX/PA9JO PA1AW VK9NT VK2CA E30FB JH1AJT LX/PB5X PA1AW VP5B K4ISV E51AOW LA8OW M0UKI/p M0OXO VU2EXP RW6HS EA6/G3SZU M0OXO OJ0W OH3WS XT2CML LZ1CLM EG1CEL EA1YO OP147MN ON2KP XU7TZG ON7PP EG1DEP EA1DR OP14A ON7LU YB9/DJ7XJ OZ7XJ EG1RSO EA1AST OP14N ON4CRD YF1AR/p N2OO EG2EIB EA1WK OP14V ON4GDV YL100PW YL2PP EG3BAR EB3CW OY1OF M0URX YS1/AB0FU JA2SWH EG3CAT EB3JP OZ0AV DL8AAV YV4MT EA5GL EG4ATB EA4TX P29NI G3KHZ YW5RYL YV5AJ EG4ATM EA5DY P29VCX SM6CVX Z81D OM3JW EG4ESP EA4TD PA175RR PI4KST ZD9XF G3TXF EG4GET EA4ZK PA70KP PA1TX ZD9ZS ZS1S EG5CVF EA5WP PA70OMG PB0AEZ ZL7X JA0VSH EG5ELX EA5BY PA70PARA PA1WBU ZS9Z ZS1OIN EG5GRA EA5FID PA950SLD PA3FOE ZW5B K3IRV EG5LEV EA5URL PI1000GAZ PI4GAZ ZX2B PY2MNL EG5RMA EA5FL PJ4DX M0URX ZY1SG PY1AA G3KHZ Derek Cox, 18 Station Road, Castle Bytham, Grantham, NG33 4SB, United Kingdom G3TXF Nigel Cawthorne, Falcons, St George's Avenue, Weybridge, KT13 0BS, United Kingdom I2YSB Silvano Borsa, Viale Capettini 1, 27036 Mortara PV, Italy JA0VSH Kazuhide Maruyama, 1-25-49 Irima-cho, Chofu-shi, Tokyo, 182-0004, Japan JA4GXS Kenji Sasaki, 2-15 Ishigannon-cho, Yamaguchi-shi, Yamaguchi-ken, 753-0038, Japan JH1AJT Y.
