425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The March 2015 issue is now available for
download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. [TNX IZ3EBA]
DX0P ---> The DX0P DXpedition team's departure from Palawan to Pagasa,
Spratly Islands was delayed. The Philippine Navy ship eventually set sail
on 15 April at 07.45 UTC, and DX0P started operations around 6 UTC on the
17th. Updates are being posted to http://www.dx0p.org.
DXCC NEWS ---> 3XY5M (Guinea, 2015 operation), C21EU (Nauru, 2015
operation) and E30FB (Eritrea, 2015 operation) have been approved for DXCC
credit. [TNX NN1N]
INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Spring 2015 issue of the International DX
Association's (INDEXA) Newsletter is now available for download at
www.indexa.org/newsletters.html. This issue (#109) includes "a timely,
thoughtful report" by Ralph Fedor (K0IR) on the K1N DXpedition to Navassa
Navassa Island, as well details on the 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation
status recently granted to INDEXA (for U.S. tax payers it means that
donations are now tax deductible). [TNX W3OA]
INTERNATIONAL MARCONI DAY ---> Organized by the Cornish Radio Amateur Club,
the International Marconi Day (IMD) is a 24-hour amateur radio event held
annually to celebrate the birth of Guglielmo Marconi (25 April 1874). It is
not a contest, but an opportunity for amateurs around the world to make
contacts with historic Marconi sites using HF communications techniques.
This year's event will be held on 25 April, from 00.00 UTC through 23.59
UTC. Details, including information on the relevant Award Certificates and
the listing of participating stations, can be found at www.gb4imd.org.uk.
QSL E30FB ---> "During the DXpedition the team experienced computer and
network issues that could not be resolved on site", M0URX reported on 11
April. "A few days ago the laptops arrived back in Japan and the team have
managed to get the raw logs to me for inspection. Around 1,000 QSOs that
were missing have been recovered so far. These QSOs have been added to the
log. QSL requests for both direct and bureau have been matched to the new
QSOs found". Tim is working to recover more QSOs. Check Club Log to see if
your QSOs are there. The OQRS for direct and bureau cards is open:
http://www.m0urx.com/eritrea_oqrs/.
QSL ZL7AAA ---> VE7NY is no longer dealing with QSLs for ZL7AAA (Chatham
Islands, March 2014). Simon, ZL4PLM (zl4plm[@]gmail.com) now has "full
access to Clublog and OQRS", so let him know "if you have a logging time
issue or did not receive a paper card". The log has been uploaded to LoTW.
[TNX DX World]
VP8SGI & VP8STI ---> While plans for the VP8SGI & VP8STI DXpedition to
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands [425DXN 1248] are "moving
forward in all aspects", the Intrepid DX Group's team has annouced their
"Early Donor program for donations prior to departure to the islands. For
all donations of $25 or more, we will perform an early LoTW upload and we
will include all $25 donors in the first batch of QSL processing". See
http://www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8 for detailed information.
+ SILENT KEY + Miroslaw "Mirek" Rozbicki, VK6DXI died of a heart attack on
