HC8    - EA5KA has cancelled his participation in the upcoming HD8R  DXpedi-
         tion to the Galapagos Islands [425DXN 1586],  and has been replaced
         by  Gerard, F2JD. Operations are expected to begin on 26 October. A
         6m FT8 beacon,  sending HD8R/B during even periods,  will be active
         24/7 on 50313 kHz:  if there is an opening,  HD8R will be on  50103
         kHz CW, SSB or FT8  if signals are not audible  for human modes.  A
         few team members will participate in the CQ WW DX SSB Contest: "ca-
         tegory  is  still  unknown",  EA7X says,  "we'll decide it  once we
         setup. It could be M/2 or M/M". QSL via EA5RM. More information can
         be found on http://www.dxfriends.com/hd8r/.

PJ7    - Janusz, SP9FIH will be active as  PJ7P  from  Sint Maarten (NA-105)

         expected to be active on 27-31 October. The modern Russian Navy was
         created at the initiative of Peter the Great (30 October 1696).
XW     - "More rules  have been imposed  on my licence renewal", Simon XW0LP
         says, "which make it hard to justify to stay in Laos. Together with
         the crash in the local economy due to no foreign tourists, it's not
         difficult to make the decision to move again to a new location. I'm
         leaving Laos around the end of November".  His new destination will
         be disclosed in due course. [TNX DX World]

3Y0J YOUTUBE CHANNEL ---> "This  narrow area of  volcanic rock  at  Kapp Fie
will be  our QTH,  250 feet  above  the black sand beach  where  we will  be
landing in Zodiacs.  See it now in 4K HD full screen mode.  Yagis, verticals
and our tents will be up here": https://youtu.be/YaMaR21075U. The team plans
"on having video updates from landing to leaving and all the fun in between"
including interviews with all the operators.

INDEXA: NEW MAILING ADDRESS ---> Dick Williams, W3OA  is retiring as  Secre-
tary/Treasurer  for the  International DX Association  (https://indexa.org/)
after many years of service.  The newly elected  Secretary/Treasurer is  Hal
Turley, W8HC. Consequently, the new mailing address for INDEXA is:  Interna-
tional DX Association, 2309 Lincoln Avenue, Saint Albans WV 25177, USA.  Any
mail sent  to Dick will be  transferred over  to Hal  during  the transition
period. ATTENTION QSL MANAGERS: if any of you are including INDEXA  applica-
tion stuffers with your QSL cards,  please contact Bob Schenck, N2OO  and he
will have new ones sent to you.  In the meantime, you can continue using the
current ones. [TNX W8HC]

PZ5G ---> Originally planned for 15-18 October [425DXN 1560], the PZ5G  IOTA
DXpedition to  Papegaaien Island (SA-092)  had to be  cut short as  the high
tide gave the operators serious and unexpected problems.  "We were the first
team to stay overnight", DJ4EL says, "and noticed that it is almost impossi-
ble to stay on  Papegaaien while  the water is high".  Before evacuating the
island,  they made 441 QSOs between  01.43 UTC and 13.25 UTC  on 16 October.
The log has been uploaded to Club Log and the OQRS has been enabled.

QSL EL2DT ---> Bob, N2OO is the new QSL manager for Dickson, EL2DT.  Depend-
ing  on the date  of  your QSOs,  two  different  Online QSL Request Systems
should be used:
1) For QSOs made ON OR AFTER 12 SEPTEMBER 2018,  please use  Club Log's OQRS
   (https://secure.clublog.org/logsearch/el2dt);  additional uploads  may be
   delayed.
2) For QSOs made BEFORE 12 SEPTEMBER 2018, please use https://oqrs.net/n2oo/
   but be advised that older logs are on paper and they are arriving slowly.
   Currently Bob has the logs for the periods 10 AUGUST 2000-9 JULY 2001 and
   30 MAY 2013-29 NOVEMBER 2015.  More logs are expected,  and when  Bob re-
   ceives them, he will update the dates. Please refrain from requesting QSL
   cards if your QSOs do not fall within the date ranges listed there.
N2OO also accepts traditional direct and bureau cards,  see his qrz.com page
for more information.

WSJT-X 2.5.1 ---> The  WSJT  Development  Group  has announced  the  General
Availability release of  WSJT-X Version 2.5.1: "this release mainly contains
improvements and defect repairs related to Q65 and JT65 modes when used with
non-standard and compound calls.  Also included is a new feature for  micro-
wave aircraft scatter  and  repairs for defects detected since the  2.5.0 GA
