3D2/R - The 15 November-4 December DXpedition to Rotuma Island [425DXN

on-site team (K4NHW, KD9LSV, LY7J, M0SDV, W2FQ and W6IZT) will
operate locally with three stations on 160-6 metres CW, SSB and
FT8. They will also participate in the CQ WW DX CW Contest using
a different callsign (TBA). In addition, two of W6IZT's NexGenRiBs
will be operated remotely by a multi-national team of young
amateurs. QSL via M0OXO's OQRS. See https://rotuma2024.com/ for

CE - Members of Radioclub El Trauko (CE7DE), based on Chiloe Island (SA-
018), will be operating special callsigns 3G7CW (CW) and 3G7RLN
(other modes) throughout September, with a focus on the 17th. This
was the day in 1898 when Ramon Luis Norero put a wireless telegraph
system into operation across the Chacao Channel between Chiloe and
mainland Chile. Club Log's Live Stream has been enabled for both
callsigns. QSLs direct to CE7DE.

N5J --- > Authored by Don, N1DG, the Jarvis Island DXpedition wrap-up is on
https://jarvisisland2024.com/news/108-t ... land-n5j-2.
* All QSOs from donors and OQRS requests received by 31 August have been up-
loaded to LoTW. QSOs from future OQRS requests and donations will be up-
loaded on a weekly basis. Plans are to upload all remaining QSOs by the
end of the year.
* As far as IOTA is concerned, credit for OC-081 will only be issued for
contacts made with the five local operators (27,635 QSOs with 11,713
unique callsigns). "We broke out the IOTA logs from the local ops and gave
that to the IOTA team for their matching software", N1DG says. "The soft-
ware will do a cross checking", adds VE3LYC, "identifying the first con-
tact you made with one of the local team operators. Credits through LoTW
QSO matching will be available starting on 7 September".
QSL GALLERY ---> The large collection of QSL cards on Les Nouvelles DX's

Entities, obsolete prefixes, stations from Maghreb from 1945 to 1962,
Allied Forces stations in Germany (1945-80), special stations commemorating
ITU and IARU, stations using the United Nations prefix (4U), Antarctic bases
and TAAF (Terres Australes et Antarctiques Francaises), amateur radio
"globetrotters", the various French DXCC island Entities in the Pacific
Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Americas (1945-1969), pre-1945 countries,
French Departments and CONUS, plus a gallery for cards not accepted by DXCC.

SUPERFOX KEY APPLICATION ---> SuperFox keys are issued by the Northern Cali-
fornia DX Foundation: "A SuperFox key allows WSJT-X to operate in SuperFox
mode. It is tied to a specific callsign. A SuperFox key may be made avail-
able to the leader of a DXpedition activating a rare entity - or other oper-
ations that need to support very high QSO run rates using FT8. Examples
include (but are not limited to) highly desired IOTA expeditions, Grid
Square expeditions, or Special Event Stations. SuperFox mode is not intended
for casual use or contesting". See https://www.ncdxf.org/pages/sfkey.html
for the application form and more information.
It is worth noting, however, that the SuperFox software has been cracked and
digital signatures embedded in the SuperFox messages currently cannot be
trusted.
