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!

IOTA NEWS ---> The logs for the  IOTA Contest 2024 island stations  have now
been added to the IOTA database  and are available for QSO matching. Record-
holders who have made IOTA contacts in an IOTA contest after 2003, can claim
credit for  them  without submitting QSLs, provided that the contact details
match.  Go to  https://iota-world.org/,  log in,  select  "Add Contest QSOs"
under the "My IOTA" tab, and choose either "Upload Contest Log"  or  "Manual
QSO Entry".  The 2024 RSGB IOTA Contest  complete results  are available  on
https://www.rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/hfresult ... &year=2024

IOTA NEWS: CLUBLOG QSO MATCHING UPDATE ---> To  enhance security,  the  Club
Log website no longer accepts regular passwords for QSO matching. Instead, a
Club Log application password  must be used.  You can obtain this by logging
into the Club Log website,  navigating to  "Settings",  and selecting  "App.
Passwords".  There, create a new application password and store it in a safe
place.  To log in to the Club Log website, continue using your regular pass-
word.  When downloading QSO matches from Club Log to the  IOTA website,  use
the application password you created by following the instructions above.

QSL VIA IK2DUW ---> Antonello  would like  to remind you  that  he is not  a
member of ARI, the Italian IARU member society, and therefore cannot receive
or send QSLs via this bureau. See https://qsl.net/ik2duw/ for his OQRS.

SAC ---> The 65th Scandinavian  Activity  Contest  will  be  held  on  21-22
September (CW) and 12-13 October (SSB), from 12 UTC on Saturday to 11:59 UTC
on Sunday.  Scandinavian stations  (Aland Islands,  Denmark,  Faroe Islands,
Finland, Greenland,  Iceland, Jan Mayen,  Market Reef, Norway,  Svalbard and
Bear Island, Sweden) will try to work as  many non-Scandinavian  stations as
possible and vice versa. Complete information of the SAC events can be found
at https://www.sactest.net/.

SUPERFOX KEYS ---> SuperFox keys, which allow  WSJT-X to operate in SuperFox
mode, are issued by the Northern California DX Foundation.  The current list
of SuperFox Keys issued by the NCDXF  (last updated on 10 September)  can be
