>>> 1800 AND COUNTING <<<

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!
QSL 3G1P & AT2AH ---> Originally scheduled to be delivered by the courier on
29 October [425DXN 1799], "the package of QSL cards from Alfio (IT9EJW) is
now supposed to arrive to me on 3 November", VE3LYC says. The delay is due
to the increased volume levels as the Canadian Union of Postal Workers' ro-
tating strikes continue. Cezar plans to send all the direct requests in one
batch by driving them across the border and posting them from the United
States. He urges anyone who has put off requesting their cards to do so now,
as he will only be making one trip. Any future mailings will be made via
Canada Post.
RI0SP ---> Oleg, RD1A is participating in the North Pole-42 expedition to
the Arctic onboard the "Severny Polyus" ("North Pole"), a large self-
propelled drifting research vessel replacing the drifting ice stations built
on ice floes. He operated as RI42SP from 5 October 2025 through August 2025,
and has been active as RI0SP since 1 September. This callsign is valid until
31 August 2026. QSL via RN3RQ.
WINQSL ---> First released in 1995, the software originated from a QSL Man-
ager listing on paper from 1982. The latest version, accompanied by the most
recent dbase update (28 October 2025), can be downloaded for free at
https://www.winqsl.com/. [TNX DF6EX]
XF4B ---> Mark, XE1B operated as XF4B [425DXN 1798] from Socorro Island, Re-
villagigedo, going on the air at around 21:30 UTC on 27 October and going
QRT at around 00:00 UTC on 30 October. The Mexican Navy ship was scheduled
to leave the island at 8 a.m. local time (15:00 UTC) on the same day. The
genuine XF4B did not operate FT8 at all, so all QSOs with 'XF4B' must have
been with pirates. The QSOs are expected to be uploaded to Club Log around 3
November.
YASME EXCELLENCE AWARD ---> Established in 2008 by the Yasme Foundation
(https://www.yasme.org/), the Excellence Award is presented to individuals
and groups who, through their own service, creativity, effort and dedication
have made a significant contribution to amateur radio. The contribution may
be in recognition of technical, operating or organizational achievement, as
all three are necessary for amateur radio to grow and prosper. The latest
recipients, announced on 30 October, are:
* Ed Engleman, KG8CX - Yasme recognizes Ed's years of support for young ama-
teurs through the YACHT program, licensing classes, and in-person mentor-
ing. Many of today's top young operators and leaders benefited from their
participation in the YACHT community.
* Don Jones, K6ZO - Don has played an instrumental role in developing an
active young amateur community in Malawi. The enthusiasm of the young
operators is inspiring, especially their ability to train and support each
other as they develop on-the-air experience.
The Board of Directors of the Yasme Foundation has also announced that it
has made a grant to support a portion of RM Noise operating costs. The RM
Noise project uses AI with the goal of removing noise from SSB voice or CW
radio signals: https://ournetplace.com/rm-noise/. [TNX K4ZW]
