3C0 - While waiting to depart for Annobon Island (AF-039) [425DXN 1788],
YL2GM and EA5EL have been active as 3C3W from Bioko Island (AF-
010), Equatorial Guinea since 1 September.
It has turned out that there are not only ferry services to Anno-
bon, but also irregular flights. Their plan is therefore to be QRV
from Bioko until 5 September, and then fly to Annobon (3C0W) on the
following day - barring changes to their flight schedule. QSLs via
Club Log's OQRS (preferred), or direct to YL2GN; full LoTW upload
after six months. Bookmark https://lral.lv/3c0w_3c3w_2025/ for more
information.

event station GB45CT will be active on 12-14 September, primarily

countries are expected to join the celebrations and be active
around 23 September, including the Bahrain Amateur Radio Society

CLUB LOG ---> "The brand new Club Log server (c/o NCDXF) is now in the data
centre, and I have finished configuration work to make it ready", G7VJR has
announced. All services will be stopped early on 6 September, and Club Log
will be down while the database migrates from the current primary server.
Michael expects it will take a few hours to restore service. "Look for a
noticeable leap in performance" when the migration is completed.
DX UNIVERSITY ---> Established in 2011, The DX University is a multi-media
program offering information, instruction and varied learning opportunities
for DXers and DXpeditioners alike. The DX University has presented in-person
sessions at several conventions.
The DX University website is part of the DXU program. The site has been re-
cently revamped, and presents ideas and techniques for DXers and DXpedi-
tioners aimed at improving operating skills and lessening the growing chaos
on the DX bands: https://dx-university.com/. The media include audio and
video files as well as articles and programs from previous in-person presen-
tations.

been added to the IOTA database and are available for QSO matching. Record-
holders who have made IOTA contacts in an IOTA contest after 2003, can claim
credit for them without submitting QSLs, provided that the contact details

under the "My IOTA" tab, and choose either "Upload Contest Log" or "Manual
QSO Entry". The 2025 RSGB IOTA Contest complete results are available on
https://www.rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/hfresults.pl?Contest=IOTA%20Contest&year=2025

Entities, obsolete prefixes, stations from Maghreb from 1945 to 1962,
Allied Forces stations in Germany (1945-80), special stations commemorating
ITU and IARU, stations using the United Nations prefix (4U), Antarctic bases
and TAAF (Terres Australes et Antarctiques Francaises), amateur radio
"globetrotters", the various French DXCC island Entities in the Pacific
Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Americas (1945-1969), pre-1945 countries,
