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 ---> The Rebel DX Group has secured more than a half of their
DXpedition's budget of USD 225,000, and is applying for grants from DX
foundations to cover the missing amount. An initial contract with the ship's
owner has been signed. A bigger ship stands for a bigger team to go to
Bouvet Island [425DXN 1409]. Read the latest news, dated 10 May, on
https://bouvetoya.org/.
IARU REGION III 50TH ANNIVERSARY ---> HL50IARU from Korea (1 May-31 October)
and VI50IARU3 from Australia (1 April-31 August), as well as YB50IARU from
Indonesia, are special callsigns celebrating the 50th anniversary of IARU
Region 3, established Sidney on 12 April 1968. See http://awards-iaru-r3.org
for information on the awards issued free of charge for working these and
other commemorative special callsigns.
LEBANON ON 6 METRES ---> IARU Region 1 reports that Lebanese amateur radio
operators have been granted permission to use the 6 metres band. The
Ministry of Telecommunications has approved operations to take place between
50.000 MHz and 51.975 MHz.
QSL HK3C ---> M0URX is the new QSL manager for John, HK3C. Tim will also be
looking after John's older callsigns of HK3AK and HK3OZ. The logs have been
uploaded to M0URX's OQRS (https://www.m0urx.com/oqrs/logsearch.php) and are
live. A new QSL card will be designed shortly.
ROYAL WEDDING SPECIAL PREFIXES ---> Subject to prior authorisation, amateur
radio operators in the United Kingdom may use special prefixes starting at
23 UTC on 18 May through 21 May to signify the marriage of H.R.H. Prince
Henry of Wales to Ms Meghan Markle. The Regional Secondary Locator (D, I, J,
M, U and W, plus E for Intermediate licences) in the existing call sign may
be replaced by the letter 'R'; where no Secondary Locator exists, the letter
'R' may be inserted as a Secondary Locator. For instance, MD0ABC (Isle of
Man), MI0ABC (Northern Ireland), MJ0ABC (Jersey), MM0ABC (Scotland), MU0ABC
(Guernsey), MW0ABC (Wales) and M0ABC (England) may all be amended to MR0ABC.
Alan, 5B4AHJ is maintaining a Club Log Helpdesk article to help clarify
which special calls are QRV from which DXCC Entity. The list does NOT
include stations operating from England (Club Log does not need an exception
for them): https://clublog.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/folders/98233 and
select "2R, GR & MR prefixes - Royal Wedding, 2018".
