who used to gather  in  his  home of Rubano (Padova) a team of operators for

titions. We are without words. The 425 DX News is near to his family and his
friends in Padova. We will miss him.

****************************************************************************
 
HEARD ISLAND 1996 --> Ralph Fedor,  K0IR, is uncertain  whether his schedule
will allow him  to participate to  Heard Island expedition  in 1996. He  has
therefore decided to turn  over the major responsibility  for the expedition
to Peter ON6TT and Bob KK6EK. Here are some prominant points:
1. Safety will be a central and determining factor in all plans.
2. The team will be expanded, perhaps to 20, although not all  will be radio
amateurs. Team members will contribute  equal financial  shares. Most of the
previous operators will join the 1996 expedition and also Carlos Nascimento,
NP4IW, will be available for the group.
3. The budget  will have to be increased.  They will need lots of help. Con-
tributions will be tax-deductible.
4. The principal radio goal will be to get everyone in the log.They will ma-
ke extensive use of recent  technical innovations to  assist that. They also
expect to  set a new world record for the  number of contacts from a DXpedi-
tion.
5. The management and progress of the project will  be much more public, and
your input and participation will be most welcome.

They have decided to take a few weeks to develop the new plans to be announ-
ced on Dec. 15.  Between now and then, you could  help them in several ways:
If you can make  a pledge of $100, $1000,  or $10000, please do so (via K0IR
or the NCDXF). If you  are potentially interested in  participating, contact
KK6EK, ON6TT, or K0IR. They need a person  to act as a semi-professional  PR
person, to  interface with media  and seek support  through  media contacts.
They  need  an  Internet  communications  person to  search and  communicate
through the  Web and through  e-mail. They would like to find a professional
film  or video person  to do a  documentary for  international markets (that
person must find support).

IY3GMM --->  The  17,  18  and  19  November the  special station IY3GMM was

JY8XY ---> Bob, WB9YXY reports to have logged about 32.000 QSO, 2.500 in CW  
and 1.100 on 80 and 40 meters. Due to lack of room  for  antenna he was not 
active on 160 meters. Bob, thanks to WB9B, gave the RTTY equipment to JY4MB,

INDIA, VU ---> Zal (VU2DK) suggests to use the following precautions sending
direct QSLs to his country:  "Use strong and well closed  envelopes, nothing
of the content should be seen.  Don't write any callsign to bring any atten-
tion. The local post situation is very bad, looking to rob "green stamps" so
try to hide the content.

OD5ZZ, OD5RAK, OD50RAK --->  Dwaine, WA8MEM is no more in contact with Walid
(OD5ZZ)  then  he will no  more be  the QSL  manager  for OD5ZZ , OD5RAK and
