Access to the main functions of www.425dxn.org is provided by the 425DXN App
for Android. It is available on Google Play - free of charge, no ads. Enjoy!
IDXC 2023 ---> Hotel reservations are now open for the 74th International DX
Convention, co-sponsored by the Northern California DX Club (NCDXC) and the
Central Arizona DX Association (CADXA), to be held at the Visalia Conference
Center on 21-23 April 2023. See https://www.dxconvention.com/ for complete
information.
QSL ZC4RH ---> Philipp, DK6SP is the new QSL manager for the 5-16 June 2022
operation by Dave, ZC4RH (G4WXJ). Bureau cards will be sent out automatical-
ly and the log will be uploaded to LoTW soon after the operation is over;
direct cards should be requested ia Club Log's OQRS. The two are "working to
digitalize old paper logs and bring them online on Club Log and LoTW as
well. Though, this process will take time".
RBN ---> The Reverse Beacon Network launched their updated website on 16
June: https://reversebeacon.net/main.php. A full explanation of the new fea-
tures is available under "About > Guide to the New Site".
The Reverse Beacon Network a network of stations listening to the bands and
reporting what stations they hear, when and how well. You can see band
openings in near-real time on an animated map. The database of past spots
allows you to instantly find out what stations, from a given country or
zone, have been heard, at what times and on what frequencies. You can see
when you have been spotted, who spotted you, and how loud you were.
And now, for the first time, you can compare your signal with those of your
friends and competitors, in near real time or historically. If you wonder
how your signal stacked up during last weekend's contests, the Signal Com-
parison Tool will give you real, quantitative data. Tell it what stations
you want to compare, based on signals heard by a given reverse beacon on a
certain band at a certain time, and there you'll have it.
T33T --- > After their recent 3D2RRR operation from Rotuma, the Rebel DX
Group's "next step" will be T33T from Banaba (OC-018), "before we go down to
South Africa by end of the year to start second attempt for Bouvet". They
are working "closely with Kiribati government to get special permit to
enter the country as they are still closed for non citizens". Bookmark
https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup for updates.
WRTC 2022 ---> The Organizing Committee of the World Radiosport Team
Championship 2022 to be held next year in Italy has opened the application
process for qualified individuals who would like to serve as referees. A
referee will be on site at each of the 65 competing stations to verify
compliance with the rules and make decisions on any rule questions by the
teams. See https://www.wrtc2022.it/en/referee-23.asp for the application
form. The deadline for submitting applications is 10 July 2022.
