FW - Jacek, SP9FIH is active as FW1P from Wallis Island (OC-054) until
17 October. He operates mainly FT8, on 80, 20, 15 and 10 metres so
far. Due to limited luggage allowance and space constraints at his
location, he uses the same telescopic mast support for 40, 60, and
80 metres. As a result, he has to rebuild the antenna configuration
every week: he will use 80m until 2 October, 40m on 2-12 October,
and 60m on 12-16 October. QSL via Club Log's OQRS (preferred). See

October for the Fire Prevention Week 2026. See https://hamfire.com/
for more information on the event and the certificate. QSL cards
for any of the stations should be sent direct to Fire Prevention
Week Special Event, c/o Dr. Bob Lightner, W.T. Loften High School
ARC, 3000 East University Avenue, Gainesville FL 32641, USA.

cations in Albania on 8-30 October. He plans "to activate as many

ter site". He will operate CW only on 20-10 metres with 10 watts.

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!
JARL WW RTTY CONTEST ---> Starting in 2026, the Japan Amateur Radio League
will officially take over the JARTS Worldwide RTTY Contest, which has been
held for 34 years, and will host it as the "JARL World Wide RTTY Contest".
The first edition will take place on 17-18 October; complete rules are at
https://www.jarl.org/English/4_Library/A-4-3_Contests/rtty_rules_en.html.
RI1FJZ ---> Due to deteriorating weather conditions and icing on the yacht
caused by strong winds and freezing rain, the captain insisted on an early
departure from Franz Josef Land. Consequently, the RI1FJZ team departed on
25 September, unable to extend their stay as originally hoped. The "Apostol
Andrey" is returning to Arkhangelsk instead of Murmansk, with an estimated
arrival date of 3 October.
During their operation at the base on Alexandra Land, the team faced severe
power supply restrictions. Only one of two promised 14 kW generators was
functional, and use was limited to a few hours twice daily to recharge bat-
teries. Solar charging yielded minimal power due to the lack of sunlight,
and modifying the power system was strictly prohibited. As a result, the
team operated at 5-6 kW when the generator was running, and reduced power to
3 kW when relying on battery storage.
Furthermore, outdoor activity to set up antennas was strictly constrained to
daylight hours in favorable weather and required the presence of one of the
base's two inspectors, particularly due to hungry bears roaming the area.
The team generally heard other stations better than they were heard. Al-
though they fell short of their total contact goals, they consider the over-
all result successful given the harsh circumstances.
All logs have been uploaded to Club Log, with the exception of QO-100 QSOs,
which will be uploaded at the earliest opportunity.
WRTC 2026 ---> The WRTC 2026 Award Ceremony will be held at the Istra Con-
test Conference in Croatia on 3 October at 16:30 UTC. It will be followed by
the announcement of the WRTC 2030 host location. Tune in to the live broad-
cast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WRTC2026
YOUTH WORLD WIDE AWARD 2026 ---> Building on three years of organizing the
World Wide Award (WWA), the team launched Youth WWA - an international radio
project designed to unite young operators globally through a single award
event. To participate as a Youth Activator, licensed radio amateurs must be
25 years old or younger. The Youth WWA takes place on 5-11 October. See
https://hamaward.cloud/wwayouth for complete information.

3Y0L: PETER I 2027 ---> The Peter I Island DXpedition team signed contracts
to return to the island in January 2027. Peter I has been silent since 2006
(3Y0X), and is currently ranked #7 on Club Log's Most Wanted DXCC list.
The expedition (11 radio operators, 4 support staff, plus two helicopters)
will depart from Chile aboard the MV "DAP Mares" on 22 January. Plans are to
stay 3 weeks around the island, with 2 weeks of onshore operation.
3Y0L will install six radio stations with amplifiers, and a combination of
4-5 element yagis for the higher bands, and single verticals for the low
bands. The expedition container will be shipped from Texas to Chile in two
weeks' time.
This adventure will not be possible without the support from the DX communi-
ty. Individuals, groups, and organizations are invited to help make this
DXpedition a success by donating via PayPal - see https://3y0l.com/ for the
full Press Release #1 (23 September).
7Q5C ---> Chris, ZS6RI rotates between South Africa and northern Malawi
every few weeks. When in Malawi he is active as 7Q5C in his spare time, typ-
ically during his early morning, late afternoon, or evening hours. He oper-
ates mainly CW across the 40-10 meter bands. QSL via LoTW and QRZ Logbook,
and logsearch on Club Log; paper cards will not be available.
OCEANIA DX CONTEST ---> The 82nd edition of the Oceania DX Contest will take
place on 3-4 October (SSB) and 10-11 October (CW). Both events will start at
06.00 UTC on Saturday, and end at 06:00 UTC on Sunday. Complete details can
be found at https://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/.
SAN AMBROSIO PROJECT ---> Below is a summary of Press Release #4, issued by
Felipe, XQ7IR on 20 September (https://www.sanambrosio-project.com), updat-
ing on recent progress toward his planned DXpedition to San Ambrosio Island
(CE0X).
* PERMIT STATUS
Three main permits/authorizations are needed to operate from San Ambrosio.
Two have already been secured, and the third is expected in the coming
months.
* AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE
The license and callsign will be requested from SUBTEL (Chile's telecommuni-
cations authority) a few weeks prior to departure once all permits are fi-
nalized.
* TRAVEL
It will be a 3-day voyage aboard a fishing vessel departing from Robinson
Crusoe Island. The transportation contract is signed, with 50% paid.
* DATES
The DXpedition is expected to take place sometime between January and April
2027. Operations are planned to last 30-45 days, depending on sea and weath-
er conditions.
* PROJECT OVERVIEW
Due to budget and logistical constraints, this will be a solo on-site DXpe-
dition by Felipe. On-site operations will run out of a tent erected next to
an existing lobster fishermen's shelter on the island. Felipe will be com-
plemented by a global team of remote operators coordinated by PY7RP, with a
collective goal of reaching 150,000 QSOs.
Key equipment includes two transceivers, two linear amplifiers (800 W and
500 W), multiple antennas, and two generators; Felipe is still seeking a
third transceiver for digital modes and high-power band-pass filters.
* BUDGET & FUNDING
The total estimated budget is approximately USD 58,000, which is currently
self-funded by Felipe alongside about 12% covered by personal donations.
Formal grant requests to DX foundations and clubs will be submitted once all
permits and official license are fully granted and published.
VISALIA 2027 ---> The 77th International DX Convention, hosted by the North-
ern California DX Club, will be held at the Wyndham Hotel in Visalia, Cali-
fornia on 12-14 March 2027. Hotel reservations with special convention rate
will open on 30 September: https://dxconvention.com/.
WRTC 2022 RESCORING ---> Tine Brajnik (S50A), Chairman of the WRTC Sanction-
ing Committee, has announced that the results for the World Radiosport Team
Championship 2022 (held in Italy in July 2023) have been rescored. Two teams
have been disqualified and changes have been made to the order-of-finish.
Following publication of the WRTC 2026 Judging Committee report on 1 Septem-
ber 2026 [425DXN #1844], the WRTC 2022 Organising Committee referred the
2023 results to the WRTC Sanctioning Committee (SC). The SC formed a working
Group to examine the 2023 logs using the methods described in the 2026 re-
port. The SC has accepted the working group's findings, and has decided to
rescore the results - which replace those announced in July 2023 - and dis-
qualify two teams.
The WRTC Sanctioning Committee's detailed statement and the complete new re-
sults can be found at https://www.wrtc2022.it/.
