[TNX NC1L] INDEXA NEWS ---> "The officers of the International DX Association, INDEXA (www.indexa.org), have agreed to send an additional donation of 2,500 USD to the Amsterdam Island, FT5ZM, DXpedition team. INDEXA's financial support for this DXpedition has now grown to 10,000 USD. Our membership of worldwide DXers has been generous to us this year with donations. Thus, INDEXA felt further support to the FT5ZM team was appropriate". K9W ---> The K9W Wake Atoll Team thanks the DX community for the outstanding response to The Forgotten 98 Commemorative DXpedition. K9W made 53765 CW, 38700 SSB and 7562 digital QSOs.

The printed QSLs are in transit to the QSL manager (AA4NN). The use of OQRS for direct and bureau cards is highly recommended (see http://wake2013.org/pages/qsl.html). [TNX W8GEX] QSL HP0INT ---> Vincent, F4BKV mailed about 50% of the direct cards for the Panama IOTA Tour on 12 December, the others will follow on the 23rd. Those letters will be sent from Hong Kong, he says; direct requests with French postage stamps on their SAEs will be processed in early January. STORMY WEATHER: OH8X ---> Radio Arcala (OH8X) has lost its 100m (330 ft) tall tower that supported 160m and 80m Yagis. The structure weighed 40 tons (80,000 lbs) and did not survive recent storm Oskari's gusts of up to 68 knots. "The mammoth structure collapsed peacefully, not hitting any of the other six towers, not hurting people or damaging buildings", OH2BN reports. "It is suspected that automation designed to enable the array to find its most comfortable position in high winds somehow locked up and caused the structure to corkscrew and crumble down on its on base". STORMY WEATHER: SV2ASP/A ---> The Daily DX reports that also Monk Apollo, the only active station from Mount Athos, has lost all of his antennas, which "fell down in the big wind storm last week". Apollo is currently "in Corinth, Greece for the olive harvest" and "does does not know when he will have the time to get something back up in the air". =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* QSL ROUTES ******* =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW =================================================================== CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER =================================================================== 3A60ARM 3A2ARM HK1/CO8ZZ DK1WI RR110RAEM UA9LP 3B9FR HB9SLO HZ1XB IZ8CLM RS110RAEM R4AAS 3W7W W3HNK IR8IDXC IK8WEJ RT110RAEM UA6YW] 3Z20SOT SP1NQF IY0CXII IQ0RM RU110RAEM R9WXK 3Z3ZIMA SP3SBY J68FF W3FF RV110RAEM UA3A 4O7ML DL3ML KC4AAA K1IED RW110RAEM RT0Q 4S7KKG DC0KK LY2013SAT LY3BY RX110RAEM R4IT 5R8IC F6ICX LY5YOTA ON9CFG RY110RAEM R9XC 5T0JL ON8RA LZ110RAEM LZ3SM RZ110RAEM RZ1ZZ 6L0NJ HL4CEL LZ125VZ LZ2KLR S21B KX7YT 6V7D DL7VOA OM13YOTA ON9CFG S513YOTA ON9CFG 8P2K KU9C OM9YOTA ON9CFG SG30RM SK6RM 8P9BJ K0BJ ON4YOTA ON9CFG SH9YOTA ON9CFG 8P9IU KI1U OU1RAEM DF5LW SN0YOTA ON9CFG 8P9TA KI1U OX5T OZ0J SN18PPM SP4EOO 9A283XV 9A3JB OY1OF M0URX SN20SOT SP1RKT 9H5G/C6A NI5DX P29LL EA7FTR SN3ZIMA SP3WVL 9X0ZM JO1CRA P29VNX JA1NLX SN5ZIMA SO5MAX A61BM IZ8CLM P40GH WA2TTI SN640OKA SP5KVW A91MCAT IZ8CLM PA6YOTA ON9CFG SP20SOT SP1YKO AP2NK W3HNK PJ4DX M0URX T32RC N7RO C6ANM WA2IYO R110RAEM R9OOO [b] T40C EA7FTR CE2AWW N7RO R110RAEM UA9OA [d] TM16C F4DSE D2QR RW6HS R1150SM RV3LZ TM1TLT F8KFP D2QV UT0EA R1941OM RW3FB TM4TLT F4KIP E6RQ VK4FI R1980L RX1CQ TT8ES IK3GES E720IARU E71A R1980M UA3A UP110RAEM RW6HS EG5MM EA5FL R200SB RN4ABD V63XG JA1XGI EM110RAEM UT7UT R2014HQ RO6L VP8BTU G1EUZ EN100ZKM UT5ZY R95NRL RA3TYL VX3X VE3JO EN110RAEM UT5UIA RA110RAEM RA0R VY1JA N3SL EO110RAEM US5ID RB110RAEM RW0UM XR150CBS XQ7UP ES5YOTA ON9CFG RC110RAEM UA0C XU7AEV N2IEN ES9YOTA ON9CFG RD110RAEM RA0AM XW0YJY E21EIC FG4NN NI5DX RG110RAEM UA9APA YL13YOTA ON9CFG HA110RAEM HA8MT RJ110RAEM RT2Y YO0YOTA ON9CFG HA40QRP HA6NL RK110RAEM RN1ON YP95GU YO3IZT HB30OK HB9OCR RL110RAEM RK3AW ZD7PAS ZD7DL HD2RAE HD2A RM110RAEM RT5G ZD8UW M0OXO HF1ZIMA SQ1KSM RN110RAEM/p RZ9DX ZF2OK N0OK HF20SOT SP1KYB RO110RAEM RU5TT ZS6TQ K3IRV HF3ZIMA SP3GVX RQ110RAEM R8IA ZT1T ZS1AFS C91B P.O.
