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!
CLUB LOG MOBILE APP ---> The Club Log Mobile app is a new tool for iPhone,
iPad, and Android. The app will help you find new DXCCs, and fill in the
band-mode slots that make up the DXCC Challenge. It gives you real time push
notifications to help you succeed. It is available in 22 languages (English
source + 21 translations). See https://clublog.org/app.php for more informa-
tion.
RI1FJL ---> Heavy fog delayed the landing until late on 21 August, and
transporting nearly 1,000 kilograms of equipment to the station proved to be
a lengthy process. While the team set up the digital site inside the main
building, limited antenna space prompted them to construct a second position
for CW and SSB operations in an old barn nearby.
RI1FJL has been QRV since 11:30 UTC on 22 August. Their FT8 station on 20
metres initially used an incorrect callsign (RI1JFL), but the team later
corrected it and uploaded the log to Club Log as RI1FJL. Due to a very weak
Internet connection, log uploads are currently slow, fragmented, and prone
to failing on the first try: https://clublog.org/logsearch/RI1FJL.
On 28 August the team reported that "the expedition dates have been pushed
back. We plan to be active for another week".
ZK3ZL: POSTPONED ---> The Tokelau DXpedition has been postponed from Novem-
ber 2026 to November 2027 due to an administrative error that resulted in
the team losing their return ferry bookings.
All preparations (callsign, equipment, airline tickets, permits, etc.) were
fully finalized, but with no other reasonably priced transportation alterna-
tive, the project must be rescheduled.
The team appreciates the DXers and clubs that made a donation to the DXpedi-
tion. Donors who would like their contribution refunded can send an email to
refund[@]pdxg.net with their name and callsign. Unrefunded donations will be
kept in escrow while the team works with the island administration to
reschedule the project. As more information becomes available, updates will
be posted to https://tok-dx.com.
+ SILENT KEY + Diego Thobie, F4HAU tragically passed away on 23 August in a
motorcycle accident at the age of 48. First licensed in 2012, he was an
active contest operator and a passionate island activator. Over the years,
he also participated as a team member in major DXpeditions such as FT4JA
(Juan de Nova 2016), 3B7A (St. Brandon 2018), XW4DX (Laos 2023), 9L5A (Sier-
ra Leone 2024), and FP5KE (Saint Pierre & Miquelon 2025).
