425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The
latest issue (November 2005) is now available in .pdf
format at http://www.425dxn.org/monthly/. Articles
and pictures should be sent to Nicola Baldresca, IZ3EBA
(iz3eba@...NT>).
A52CDX ---> The A52CDX team
(F9DK, G0LMX , F5LMJ and F2VX) went QRT from Timphu
at the end of the CQ WW DX CW Contest (6929 QSOs, 1024 made during
the contest). They expected to leave for the Bhumtang Province around
6.30 a.m. local time on 28 November,
and to operate with solar panels
from Ugyen-Cholling on the 29th, from Trongsa on the 30th
and from Paro on 1-2 December. QSL via F9DK. [TNX
F5NQL]
DX0ST & DX0TIC ---> Gil, 4F2KWT and Jun, 4F3BA returned
from their expedition on 26 November. Shu, JN6RZM reports that the voyage
back home was "a terrible experience", as "the small boat they
took met with very big waves and the engine was damaged and
they were adrift for 16 hours". Shu says that they had to use
their amateur radio equipment to launch the myday
on 7045 kHz. Pictures of the operations
from OC-175 and OC-207 can be
found at http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~ja1qxy/sub15aa.html
JUST LEARN MORSE CODE
---> Sigurd Stenersen, LB3KB has decided "to make
a contribution to the continued use of Morse code" and has created
Just Learn Morse Code, a computer programme that makes it easy to
learn CW and improve the skills of those who already know the code. The
latest version (1.13) was released on 22 November and can
be found at http://justlearnmorsecode.com [TNX LB3KB]
OJ0B
& OJ0J ---> The OJ0B and OJ0J
operation terminated their radio activities from Market
Reef at 4 UTC on 29 November, after 12,166 QSOs (8,505 - nearly the 70% -
on 160 and 80 metres). Boat transport back to the
Aland Islands was totally out of the question because
of rough seas, and two helicopter flights were needed to
pick up the team and their equipment. This has added
to their overall transportation costs,
beyond the original estimate. Contributions to help offest the
high cost of the operation will be gratefully accepted. The
diary (with several pictures) of this
Arctic undertaking is available at http://www.kolumbus.fi/oh2bn/pagemarket.htm
[TNX OH2BN]

team are invited to
contact Frosty (frosty1@...ONT>). [TNX K5LBU]
QSL 7Q7RM ---> Allan,
G0IAS is now in possession of the late Ron Macfarlane's logbooks. These date
back to 1947-54, when Ron was GM3EAK, and cover all of the QSOs
(HF and 6 metres) made as either ZD6RM (when
Malawi was called Nyasaland) and 7Q7RM until Ron's death. Allan says
that these logs "will stay open for one year, then they will be closed
and destroyed". QSL direct only to Allan Hickman, The Conifers,
High Street, Elkesley, Retford, Nottingham DN22 8AJ, UK. [TNX
G0IAS]
QSL J3/SP9PT & J3/SP9BQJ ---> Wojciech
and Marek made 12500+ QSOs during their late October/early
November operations from Grenada, and have processed amd mailed all of the
direct requests received so far. [TNX SP5EWY]
QSL P40L --->
Please note that Gert, K5WW can confirm QSOs made with
P40L between 22 May 2003 and 29 November 2005 at
03.30 UTC (on-line logs at http://www.qsl.net/k5ww). Contacts made after that
time were made by OH3SR, who will handle his own QSL
cards.
QSL VIA W0YG ---> Charlie, W0YG would like to remind
DXers that he does not use the bureau. Requests for VK9CG and VK9XG
should be sent direct only, with SAE and USD 1.00 or 1 new
