425 DX NEWS  MAGAZINE ---> The  February 2018  issue  is  now  available for
download at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]

REBEL DXERS' PROJECTS ---> Members of the  Polish Rebel DX Group  launch "an
extended transoceanic project called  Travel Cheap to Top DXCCs".  They plan
to "activate interesting and  difficult-to-reach rare DXCC Entities  in  the
coming years". Plans for 2018 include a DXpedition to Central Kiribati (T31)
in May, followed first by Tokelau  and  Swains Island,  and  then by  Bouvet
Island (3Y0I) [425DXN 1397].  They  "invite all interested hams  to join our
extraordinary   project".   See   http://www.rebeldxgroup.com/  for  further
information.

DXCC's newest Entity totalled 98,450 QSOs with  30,541 individual  callsigns
from 174 DXCC Entities. The delegates to a variety of support  functions and
radio operating  represented 12 countries.  "They worked well together  in a
real ham's spirit and assisted local Kosovar hams in many ways now that they
will  be  on  their  own  among  the global  amateur  radio community".  The
operators were Z61DX, Z61FF, Z61VB, Z62FB,  Z63DBB,  DD2ML,  DJ5IW,  DL3DXX,
