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!

3Y0J: LOTW STATUS ---> "All LoTW have been uploaded for anyone OQRS,  direct
mailed card, or upfront donors greater than or equal to $15",  LA7GIA posted
to Facebook on 4 May.  "There have been a few issues  with entries  uploaded
not showing up, we are working on this.  If you have not received  LoTW  and
you have OQRS, please email  [email protected]  and we will take care of it.
Complete log will be uploaded to LoTW when we enable free buro cards".

3Y0J:: QSL STATUS ---> "The team  is working on preparing  the callsign  and
address for  all our upfront donors",  LA7GIA posted to  Facebook on  4 May.
"This is a very time consuming process that comes on top of our  daily work,
travel and other duties.  We have spent considerable amount of time on this.
Unfortunately our  1100 upfront donors  that made a QSO need  to have  their
address transferred to the QSL system, and this is what takes time.
The delay is entirely with the team and NOT the QSL manager.
Hopefully we can submit  all information  to our QSL manager  rather  sooner
than later, but we cannot promise any date as it also depends on our regular
daily work load, especially since we do travel in our jobs.
In addition the 3Y0J container arrived two weeks ago in Oslo and we are busy
with unloading container,  repacking the equipment and  prepare storage.  In
addition we are selling equipment we don't need".

DX0NE ---> QSOs for the current  one-man operation from the  Spratly Islands
are being uploaded to https://www.mdxc.support/dx0ne/log/.  As of  4 May  at
01.01 UTC Gil, 4F2KWT had made 5139 QSOs, with 2886 unique callsigns.

QSL GALLERY ---> The large collection of QSL cards  on  Les  Nouvelles  DX's
website has been updated. Seventeen different galleries include 21,313 cards
for the  ten Most  Wanted  DXCC  Entities  (2013-22), the  62  deleted  DXCC
Entities, obsolete prefixes,  stations  from  Maghreb  from  1945  to  1962,
Allied Forces stations in Germany (1945-80), special stations  commemorating
ITU and IARU, stations using the United Nations prefix (4U), Antarctic bases
and  TAAF  (Terres Australes  et  Antarctiques  Francaises),  amateur  radio
"globetrotters",  the various  French  DXCC island Entities  in the  Pacific
Ocean,  the Indian Ocean  and  the Americas (1945-1969), pre-1945 countries,
French Departments and CONUS, plus a gallery for cards not accepted by DXCC.
Your participation  is welcome: http://www.lesnouvellesdx.fr/galerieqsl.php.
[TNX F6AJA].

QSL VIA IT9EJW ---> Club Log's OQRS has been enabled for XF2C (NA-135), XF3O
(NA-090), XF3M (NA-045)  and  XF3H (NA-045).  Please note that  on  9 April,
between 14.15 UTC and 19.10 UTC, the operator (Enrique, XE2AA)  used XF3M by
error.  The correct callsign XF3O should have been XF3O, and Enrique invites
those who had a QSO with 'XF3M' during  that time frame to amend their logs.
After processing incoming  requests for  direct cards,  all of the remaining
QSOs will be confirmed  automatically via the bureau. [TNX IT9EJW]

T30UN ---> Team T30UN went QRT on  30 April  at 17.35 UTC,  when their third
and last generator died.  They are now  making preparations  for  the  T31TT
DXpedition to Kanton Island, Central Kiribati [425DXN 1665].  They expect to
be heading to T31 on 23 May.  Bookmark https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup
