425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The  October  2013  issue  is  now  available  for 
download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. [TNX IZ3EBA] 

5J0R --->  The  San  Andres  expedition's  website  has  been  updated  with 
pictures and statistics from the recent  operation.  5J0R  made  80508  QSOs 
(33426 CW, 37033 SSB and 10049 RTTY) with  22704  unique  callsigns  in  ten

requestd through the dedicated  OQRS  when  it  is  made  available  on  the 
website (http://www.dxfriends.com/SanAndres2013/index.php).

IRON HAM  CONTEST  --->  Drawing  inspiration  from  the  Ironman  Thriatlon 
races,the  Araucaria  DX  Group  sponsors  the  WW  Iron  Ham    Contest,  a 
competition that combines the main operating  modes  (Phone,  CW  and  RTTY) 
into one single contest. The second edition will be held on  28-29  December 
(from 12 UTC on Saturday through 11:59 UTC on Sunday). The  24-hour  contest 
is organized to have 8 hours  of  operation  on  each  mode  in  periods  no 
shorter than one hour. Complete details (look at this  year's  very  special 
prize for the winners!) can be found at www.ironham.com.br [TNX PY5EG] 

THE BIG PICTURE... ---> "The Big Picture of  Expedition  Operating  and  the 
Direct  Relationship  to  Anti-Social  Pileup  Behavior"  is  a    43-minute 
presentation by Rick, K6VVA. It "describes the problems and  also  solutions 
to the dysfunctional behavior we unfortunately hear in DX & IOTA pileups  on 
the  Amateur  Radio   bands    these    days".    It    can    be  found  at 
http://youtu.be/svLlfrFA-1E [TNX K6VVA] 

Z81X ---> The 14-28 November Z81X operation from South Sudan  [425DXN  1173] 
will employ DX University's "Best Practices for DXpedition Operating".  With 
the exception for 160 and 80 metres (1826.5 KHz and  3523  KHz),  they  will 
not pre-announce their  operating  frequencies,  but  will  depend  on  "the 
modern Internet spotting networks". Near the  end  of  the  operation,  they 
will use "a version of e-Pilot" in an effort "to work as many of  the  'more 
deserving, but DX challenged' DXers as possible". 
Z81X "will also look for conduct that is  consistent  -  or  inconsistent  - 
with the 'Best Practices for Courteous and  Efficient  DXing'  presented  on 
the DX University Webpage" (go  to  www.dxuniversity.com,  click  on  "DXing 
Tools" and then on "Best Practices" in the drop-down menu).  Be  aware  that 
they will "record many segments of the operation in stereo,  pileup  on  one 
channel, Z81X on the other", and that "selected segments  will  be  uploaded 
to the DX University website to illustrate certain points". 
As the activity will be running for two-weeks,  SSB  operation  on  the  low 
bands will come during the second weekend. During the CQ WW  DX  CW  Contest 
there may be as many as three single-band stations activated. QSL via  OH0XX 
(OQRS on Club Log).
