INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Winter 2019 edition (#124)  of the  International
DX Association's  Newsletter  (INDEXA)   is now   available for download  at
http://www.indexa.org/newsletters.html.  It contains  a complete  report  by
Diego Thobie, F4HAU on  the  Saint Brandon (3B7A) DXpedition which  occurred
in  April 2018.  "We  are  trying  an  experiment  with  this issue  of  the
newsletter.  One  of our  new  directors,  Otis Vicens (NP4G),  has  labored
alongside your editor to produce a Spanish translation", specifically  aimed
at the  large  Spanish-speaking population  worldwide.  "We hope this effort
will indicate  there  is  sufficient interest  in continuing with a  Spanish
translation".

OPDX MAILING LIST ---> "The OPDX Mailing List is back up and running", Tedd,
KB8NW announced on 28 January.  "However, we are starting from scratch,  and
only very few e-mail  addresses have been added.  The new mailing list  does
not have an automatic subscriber feature  and  you will have  to e-mail me a
request to be added".  Send your requests to either  kb8nw[@]hotmail.com  or
kb8nw[@]arrl.net.
