[TNX VA3RJ] =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** **** GOOD TO KNOW ... **** =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW 425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The latest issue (July 2009) is now available at http://www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. Articles and pictures should be sent to Nicola Baldresca, IZ3EBA. DXCC NEWS ---> ZS8T (Prince Edward & Marion Island, operated by ZS6GCM ) and 7O1YGF (Yemen, 16-26 April 2000) have been approved for DXCC credit. As for 7O1YGF, this is the official release from Bill Moore, NC1L: "After reviewing recently-received information regarding the 7O1YGF operation, and after additional dialogue with a leader of the DXpedition, the DXCC desk has approved this operation. Considering the length of time that has passed since this operation, we ask that DXCC participants who would like to claim credit for 7O1YGF follow the options below: * Send the 7O1YGF card ONLY to DXCC with a SASE, or return postage if outside the US; DXCC will process the card and applicants will not be charged a submission fee. 7O1YGF cards included with other cards will be handled as part of a normal submission. * Bring the card to a DXCC Card Checker. The card checker will forward the confirmation to the DXCC desk for processing. Again, there will be no submission fee if this is a single-card submission. You must fill out an application form, however. In all other cases applicants can include their QSL card with their next submission, and it will be handled normally. We will work with the 7O1YGF team to use Logbook of the World if possible. Remember, the cutoff date for the 2009 DXCC Annual listing and Honor Roll list is December 31, 2009. We encourage applicants to handle this sooner rather than wait until the last minute". 30 METRES ---> The 30 Meter Multi Mode Weekend will be held on 22-23 August to promote experimenting and using different digital modes on that band. Information can be found on the 30 Meter Digital Group's website at http://30mdg.net/Events.html [TNX F5NQL] QSL 7O1YGF ---> Those who still need a paper QSL card for 7O1YGF can send their request to DJ3XD (he was the original QSL manager for CW QSOs, but now he will handle SSB and RTTY as well). The logs are expected to be uploaded to LoTW within a couple of weeks' time. [TNX The Daily DX] QSL ZK2V ---> "We are in the process of finalizing the QSL design for ZK2V and expect to have cards in hand in about 6 weeks", N3SL says.
