ILLW ---> The 22nd annual International  Lighthouse/Lightship  Weekend  will
take place from 00.01 UTC  on  17  August  until  24.00  UTC  on  the  18th.
Complete information on this popular event, including a  list  of  announced

INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Summer 2019 edition (#126)  of the  International
DX Association's Newsletter  is now available  for  download  (also  in  the
Spanish translation provided by Otis Vicens, NP4G) on the INDEXA's  website:
http://www.indexa.org/newsletters.html. This issue reports on the DXpedition
to Kanton Island, Central Kiribati (T31EU)  which took  place  earlier  this
year.  This DXpedition had support  from  INDEXA's DXpedition Fund  and from
INDEXA's "Hams with Hearts" Fund.
In the same issue there  are  several  other items  of  interest.  A primary
benefactor of INDEXA's "Hams with Hearts" Fund, Zorro Miyazawa (JH1AJT)  has
been named Honorary Advisor  to  Bhutan's Olympic Committee President  as he
continues  his encouragement  of education and  healthy growth for youth  in
various nations of the world.
INDEXA Director Otis Vicens (NP4G) reports on his solo DXpedition to  Easter
Island  accompanied by his  father.  It is a pleasant story of a father  and
son reconnecting as adults.
If you have ever wondered about the process of how INDEXA processes requests
for  DXpedition  funding,  INDEXA President  Bob Schenck (N2OO) provides the
membership with a rundown of how it all happens.
Finally, if you haven't already noticed,  a new video presentation  has been
generated in  the  past month  which explains  DXing  and  INDEXA's role  in
"Helping  to  Make DX Happen".  There is a link  to the presentation  in the
article. [TNX K8YC]

rumours regarding  Mount Athos,  Monk Apollo  and me in conjunction  to  the
issue  of  ham radio  activities  (radio amateur)".  Read  brother  Iakovos'
