425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The May 2023  issue  is available  for download at
https://www.425dxn.org/. [TNX IZ3EBA]

CQ DX MARATHON ---> The  CQ  DX  Marathon  is  a  year-long  DX  hunt,  with
participants competing to see who can work the greatest number of  countries
("entities") and CQ zones during the calendar year. Complete results of  the
2022 edition are on https://dxmarathon.com/results/2022/.

EZ/DL7ZM ---> David, DL7ZM (OE6NZM) was active as EZ/DL7ZM from Turkmenistan
on 29-31 May, and expected to remain there until 3 June.  This was neither a
DXpedition nor a holiday style operation, but a  "a trip to establish a uni-
versity cooperation  and  to perform  some  very limited  radio  propagation
study"  similar to his  June 2022 activity from Socotra Island  (Yemen).  He
operated CW on 10 metres,  and did not expect to make  "more than a few hun-
dred QSOs".

MM0UKI ---> Nobby, G0VJG and Emil, DL8JJ were active with two stations  from
Rockall Island (EU-189) from around  00.00 UTC on 31 May  until around 05.45
UTC on 2 June.  According  to  first-hand  information  published   by  "The
Guardian" (https://www.theguardian.com/uk/scotland)  on 31 May,  the "ascent
up the sheer-sided granite rock  was  much more hazardous  than expected be-
cause  the waves were  far bigger  than anticipated".  When Emil,  who is an
expert mountaineer,  tried to land on the rock  to fix the lines needed  for
the others to follow,  "the swell was so great that he was twice washed into
the sea  before he was able  to clamber on  at the third attempt".  QSL  via
M0OXO's OQRS (https://www.m0oxo.com/oqrs/); please note that Charles is away
from home until 27 June.

T31TT --- > The  Rebel DX Group  has been active  from  Kanton Island  since
around 03:30 UTC on 31 May.  According to Club Log's latest statistics  (see
https://clublog.org/charts/?c=T31TT#r),  as of 2 June at 02.32 UTC  they had
made 21972 QSOs with 5293 unique callsigns. Main activity is taking place on
FT8 (19650 QSOs).  They plan  to be QRV for  10-12 days.  QSL via Club Log's
OQRS.

+ SILENT KEY + Charles H. "Chip" Margelli, K7JA  passed away on  26 May.  He
was diagnosed with cancer in March.  First licenced in 1963,  during his ca-
reer with  Yaesu Musen Co. Ltd. (1977-2006)  he helped provide equipment for
countless DXpeditions. He also worked for Heil Sound,  CQ Publishing,  Force
12/InnovAntennas America and Ham Radio Outlet.  K7JA was active in DXing and
especially in contests and goodwill activities for over sixty years.
In 1984, the Chinese Radio Sport Association invited Chip and his wife Janet
(KL7MF) to operate from BY1PK  and help train new local operators during the
early phases of the rebirth of amateur radio in China.  In 1989, he was  the
American representative in the first-ever Finnish-Soviet-American DXpedition
to Malyj Vysotskij Island (4J1FS),  and in 1991 he joined team  ZA1A,  whose
activity reintroduced amateur radio in Albania.  He was also a member of the
joint Cuba-USA operations in  1994 (CO0FRC) and  2003 (CO0US).  In 1990 Chip
and Mike Wetzel (W9RE) won the  silver medal at the first-ever  World Radio-
sport Team Championship,  held  in conjunction  with the  Goodwill Games  in
Seattle.
A member of the First Class CW Operators' Club (FOC)  and a recipient of the
E.T. Krenkel Medal conferred  "for the outstanding world contribution to the
development of radio amateurs",  in  May 2008  Chip was inducted into the CQ
Amateur Radio Hall of Fame.
