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!
3G1P ---> All of the equipment that the 3G1P team had left behind when they
had to evacuate the rock (21 August) is gone - most likely washed away by
the high ocean swell under strong winds. The lost equipment includes "the
KPA500, one IC-7000, seven Dunestar-300 band pass filters, two multiband
antennas, one 2-el yagi, one Honda EU22i generator, two fiberglass masts,
all Cezar's personal clothing and sneakers, etc . The estimated replacement
value is well in excess of $8,000. To be clear, this loss is the responsi-
bility of our team. However, we would very much appreciate all the support
that the IOTA and DXing community can afford to offer".
See https://3g1psa-100.weebly.com for more information.
DX MARATHON SPRINT ---> "The DX Marathon continues to grow, and Cycle 25 has
brought even more excitement to DXing", the Program Administrator (Mark
Wohlschlegel, WC3W) says. "Participation has nearly doubled in the past few
years, and we would like to see it grow even further. This year, we are
introducing something special - the DX Marathon Sprint".
The Sprint will start on 18 October at 00:00 UTC, and close on 27 October at
23:59 UTC. The rules are simple: within the 10 days window, work as many
countries (346) and CQ zones (40) as possible, on 160-6 metres. There will
be four classes (Unlimited, Limited, Formula, or QRP), All Modes or single
mode (CW, SSB, Digital). All submissions must be made via the submission
tool on the DX Marathon' website, and must be received no later than 2
November at 23:59 UTC. See https://dxmarathon.com/rules/2025-sprint/ for the
complete rules.
