UA9    - Vladimir, UA0LCZ and Kirill, UD0LEN will be active as UA0LCZ/p from
         Popov Island (AS-066) on 10-14 October. Look for them to operate CW

         watts and up to four stations  on  160-10 metres  (in principle, as
         little propagation is expected above 21 MHz). Activity on 60 metres
         is unlikely as they will be limited to 15 watts EIRP. Antennas will
         be verticals and the main modes will be CW and SSB.  The group will
         not be on FT8 or FT4.  QSL via LoTW  and Club Log's OQRS only.  See
         https://zc4uw.com/ for more information in due course. [TNX G3ZAY]

425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The September 2019  issue  is  now  available  for
download at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]

5K0K ---> The Czech DXpedition Team will be active as 5K0K  from  San Andres
(NA-033) [425DXN 1478] between 15 and 28 October,  with full force  in place
on 17-27 October  (CQ WW DX SSB Contest included).  Plans are for  FT8 to be
their  primary digital mode,  and they  will be  using  MSHV's  multi answer
protocol (not to be confused with the Fox & Hound mode).  "If you hear us on
the normal  FT8  frequencies,  we will not be  in  the  multi-slot mode  and
working one station at a time", they say. If the number of callers  is high,
they will QSY to their announced DXpedition frequencies: 1844 kHz  (1908 kHz
for JA), 3590, 7065, 10145, 14085, 18117, 21110, 24918, 28095 and 50328 kHz.
Use the locator  when calling 5K0K,  as  "MSHV will be configured  that  the
distant station will have  the priority  in the queue".  Read the  "5K0K FT8
Operation Guide" on http://www.cdxp.cz/. If the connection  to the  Internet
is "fast and stable", the logs will be posted in real time  to  QSO Director
(http://www.qsodirector.com/event/5k0k/)  and   Club  Log's   Live   Streams
(https://clublogorg/livestream/5k0k).

TX7T ---> The Can-Am DXpedition  team [425DXN 1477]  will arrive  in  French
Polynesia on 3 November. While in Tahiti (FO), there will be some activity -
including low bands - for a couple of days/nights.  The team will move on to
Hiva Oa (Marquesas Islands) on  6 November,  and will depart for home on the
19th. While in the Marquesas, there will be 3-4 four stations active as TX7T
on 160-6 metres CW, SSB and FT8.  Check  out https://marquesas2019.com/  for
more details.
Operators are K4UEE, K5PI (team leader), W5MJ, W5RF, W5SJ, VA7DX, VE7KW  and
F6BCW. Europe is a key target area and  every attempt  will be made  to take
advantage of propagation. Pilots are DL9GFB (Chief Pilot),  N2SG  and  N7BT.
QSL via M0URX's OQRS  and  LoTW.  This  DXpedition is mostly  funded by  the
operators. However, contributions are most welcome and will go toward  their
freight and shipping costs. [TNX K4UEE]

VP6R ---> Hal, W8HC - a team member of the upcoming  DXpedition to  Pitcairn
Island [425DXN 1483] - says he "will be taking  along  his  Garmin Satellite
tracker once again", so  "if you are interested,  you may  follow along with
this adventure in near real time at https://sharegarmin.com/vp6r".
Ralph, K0IR has had to withdraw from the DXpedition project:  "I experienced
a sudden and relatively severe,  acute illness  and  was hospitalized  for a
number  of  days", he  says.  "I am recovering  at home,  but  the  risk  of
compromising the DXpedition to Pitcairn Island  is too great for me  to make
the trip with the team. My friend Glenn, W0GJ, will take on my responsibili-
ties and the DXpedition will proceed as otherwise planned".  It was not pos-
sible to find a replacement for Ralph, as  "many potential substitutes  were
unable to clear their schedules to be gone for a month with just a few hours
notice".
The rest of the team is  ready  to go.  On  15 October  they will  fly  from
Papeete to Mangareva, where the "Braveheart" will be waiting for them.  They
will set sail almost immediately for Pitcairn, and reach  their  destination
on 17 October. "All of the cargo is already at our operating site", the say.
"We will work hard that first day to get as many antennas up as possible  to
get on the air by the end of the day, Thursday, October 17.  We must QRT  by
November 2 to make it back to Mangareva to catch the weekly flight again".

W8S ---> The website for the W8S DXpedition  to  Swains Island  (10-25 March
2020) [425DXN 1482] is under construction  at  https://swains2020.lldxt.eu/.
Ten operators (AG4W,  DJ9HX, DJ9ON,  DL2AMD, DL6JGN, DL6KVA, KO8SCA, PA3EWP,
PA4WM and PG5M) will be active on 160-10 metres  CW, SSB, FT8 and RTTY  with
four stations 24/7 from two operating sites.

ZK3A ---> The Tokelau DXpedition went QRT soon  after 22 UTC  on  8 October,
earlier than planned.  All  team members  are fine,  but  "a person  on  the
island is ill", the team reported.  "So they have sent  the boat there early
to get this person medical help. The team has ceased operations and  packing
up all equipment to get on that boat because there will not be another  boat
for ten days". According to the latest update on Club Log,  51260 QSOs  were
made with 14376 unique callsigns from  Asia (38.3%),  North America (37.4%),
Europe (18.9%) and  the rest of the world (5.5%).  The most productive  band
was 20m (13060 QSOs); the most productive mode was CW (29343 QSOs), followed
by FT8 (11275), SSB (8443) and  RTTY (2199).  A Log Check Request Form  (see
https://tokelau2019.com/qsl-information) is available for Busted Call or Not
in Log situations; direct email requests will not be accepted.
