>>> 1500 AND COUNTING <<<
It all started back in May 1991. After nearly twenty-nine years, 425 DX News
celebrates today its issue #1500 - that's 1500 weeks of uninterrupted
service to the DX community. Heartfelt thanks to all our readers worldwide!

from Vietnam approximately between 13 and 20 February. He has
antennas for 80-10 metres, but the QRM at his QTH, especially on
the low bands, is very high and "sometimes it needs lots of
patience to complete a QSO". QSL via DL5MAE (bureau preferred).
C2 - Look for C21AA (QSL via JH3QFL), C21GW (QSL via JR3GWZ), C21MB (QSL

short duration event.
NEW IARU WEBSITES ---> "For some time, all parts of IARU have been working
to bring together the very different website styles of the three regions and
the global site into one single global identity and brand for all four
sites. At the same time, new material has been added to broaden appeal of
the sites", Don Beattie, G3BJ (President, IARU Region 1) reported on 30
January. The new IARU Global and Region 1 websites are now up and running,
the others will go live over the next several days. The three regional sites
