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!

QSL GALLERY ---> "Globetrotters" is a new gallery that Jean-Michel, F6AJA
has added to the large collection of QSL cards on Les Nouvelles DX's website
(http://www.lesnouvellesdx.fr/galerieqsl.php). It "focuses on the QSLs used
by those who have travelled the world", and for the time being it contains
839 QSLs. Those who operated under an individual or group callsign from "at
least 50 Current or Deleted DXCC Entities can be included in this album. It
is absolutely certain that some globetrotters are missing, so your coopera-
tion is needed. If you are one of them and eligible for this album, or know
of one or more OMs that could be included, thank you in advance for your
help".

T33T ---> Team T33T made 97,193 QSOs (FT8 86545, FT4 7186, SSB 3457, CW 5)

be found on https://clublog.org/charts/?c=T33T#r. QSL via Club Log's OQRS.
"We will concentrate now on a humanitarian project called Hams for Banaba
Kids", they announced on 26 November(https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup/)
"We will continue what Zorro JH1AJT (SK) started years ago. Information will
be sent to the public after we're back home to Europe. There's a lot of
simple things to do for those kids. It will cost us almost nothing to make
them happy".

VK9NT DXPEDITION BOOTCAMP 2023 ---> Chris, VK3QB and others will be active
again as VK9NT from Norfolk Island for 12-14 days during the second half of
March 2023 (indicatively on 15-28 March, dates to be confirmed). This time
