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!

3Y0I ---> "A few good  DXpedition Pilot stations"  have been chosen to serve
during the expedition to Bouvet:  https://www.rebeldxgroup.com/3y0i-pilots/.
They  "will  not  handle  busted  calls,  log/mode  requests  or  DXpedition
details", but  "will assemble RX  information and forward that  consolidated
info into a single  direct  communication link to Dom,  the DXpedition  Team
Leader". 3Y0I plans to upload the logs to Club Log twice a day. For the time
being, the team in Cape Town expects  to complete  the  "Special Operations,
Water,  Rescue,  Recovery  and   Survival"  training  on  26  November:  see
https://bouvetoya.org.

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

4U1UN ---> "90% of the remoting of the  4U1UN  station  has been completed",
The Daily DX reports.  "The main equipment  is in a secure area  on the 41st
floor and in the near  future operators  will be able to have easier  access
down below".  Hopefully the United Nations HQ station  will be QRV again  by
year's end.

QSL EP6RRC ---> Club Log's OQRS is  the  preferred method,  and  it  will be
enabled after the DXpedition  to  Shif Island (AS-189, new one for IOTA)  is
over: https://clublog.org/logsearch/EP6RRC.  The  QSL manager  is R7AL,  but
those who choose to go direct in a traditional way should mail their request
to  EU7A  (maildrop):  Andrey N. Teterukov,  P.O. Box 49,  220050  Minsk-50,
Belarus.
