425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The November 2015 issue is now available for
download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. [TNX IZ3EBA]
CQ WW DX CONTEST PARTICIPANT SURVEY ---> On 2-29 September the CQ WW DX Contest Committee conducted a survey to gather feedback from participants, and 5,117 responses were received from contest operators around the world. The first results are now available at http://cqww.com/blog/.
HAMS WITH HEARTS ---> The International DX Association has announced the
formation of a new fund within INDEXA that specifically supports
humanitarian projects carried out by DXpeditions. The generous initial
contribution by Zorro Miazawa (JH1AJT) will enable INDEXA to begin
humanitarian support grants beginning mid-January of 2016. The tag line for
this fund is "Hams with Hearts". To qualify for humanitarian grants,
DXpeditions must present a clear plan for a humanitarian project to
coincide with their DXpedition. The project must provide direct, physical
benefit to the local population. See www.indexa.org/hamswithaheart.html for
further information. [TNX W3OA]
IOTA BASH 2016 ---> The 12th annual IOTA Bash will be held on 26-27
February in Boerne, Texas. The agenda includes presentations by Mike K9AJ
(VP8STI and VP8SGI), David EI9FBB (S79C and PJ7PK) and Mike AB5EB (N5M, NA-120). For further information, please contact Mike Crownover, AB5EB
(ab5ebdxer[@]gmail.com).
NPOTA ---> Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the creation of the
National Park Service, the ARRL National Parks on the Air (NPOTA) event
will run from 00.00 UTC on 1 January through 23.59 UTC on 31 December 2016,
with activity promoted and encouraged from each of the more than 430
official NPS administrative units and affiliated areas across the US. The
program will have two participation tracks (Chasers and Activators) and
will be administered entirely through LoTW. Complete details on the
National Parks on the Air event are available on http://www.arrl.org/NPOTA.
QSL YB9AY ---> Cards for YB9AY/7 (Temajo Island, OC-252), as well as for
Made's home callsigns (YC9AY and YB9AY), can be sent directly to him: Made
Sudarsana, Jl. Danau Tamblingan No.126, Sanur, Denpasar 80228, Indonesia.
[TNX YB3MM]
RI1FJ ---> Eugene, UA4RX has been stationed at the Ernst Krenkel
Observatory on Heiss Island, Franz Josef Land since early August [425DXN
1263]. The licence for RI1FJ has been duly renewe and expires on 1
September 2017, but Eugene has not been active so far. All that Victor,
UA2FM (RI1FJ's QSL manager) has been able to understand is that Eugene "is
alive and well, he carries out his duties, but he has no technical
possibilities to be QRV". He is expected to remain on the island until
August 2016. [TNX DX World]

CQ WW DX CONTEST PARTICIPANT SURVEY ---> On 2-29 September the CQ WW DX Contest Committee conducted a survey to gather feedback from participants, and 5,117 responses were received from contest operators around the world. The first results are now available at http://cqww.com/blog/.
HAMS WITH HEARTS ---> The International DX Association has announced the
formation of a new fund within INDEXA that specifically supports
humanitarian projects carried out by DXpeditions. The generous initial
contribution by Zorro Miazawa (JH1AJT) will enable INDEXA to begin
humanitarian support grants beginning mid-January of 2016. The tag line for
this fund is "Hams with Hearts". To qualify for humanitarian grants,
DXpeditions must present a clear plan for a humanitarian project to
coincide with their DXpedition. The project must provide direct, physical
benefit to the local population. See www.indexa.org/hamswithaheart.html for
further information. [TNX W3OA]
IOTA BASH 2016 ---> The 12th annual IOTA Bash will be held on 26-27
February in Boerne, Texas. The agenda includes presentations by Mike K9AJ
(VP8STI and VP8SGI), David EI9FBB (S79C and PJ7PK) and Mike AB5EB (N5M, NA-120). For further information, please contact Mike Crownover, AB5EB

possibilities to be QRV". He is expected to remain on the island until
