DX World of Ham Radio

You can now listen to daily space weather updates on Space Weather Radio.

The log for the special event station 4A1DXXE is online. Details about the activity can be found here and here.

It is planned to update the online log once a day until activity ends.

If you don’t find your callsign in the online log, please work 4A1DXXE again. Don’t contact me, nor the manager, nor DXXE for log inquiries. The QSL manager will check your card thoroughly against the log.

QSL for 4A1DXXE goes via N7RO or LotW.

Dear fellow hams,

After 13 years of providing hams with no cost web space, e-mail forwarding and mailing list services through QSL.net and QTH.net, I have decided to retire. All QSL.net and QTH.net servers and Internet connections at my home QTH are being turned down.

Scott KA9FOX has graciously decided to pick up where I left off, and he is in the process of migrating all services to new hardware. See below for an update on the status of the migration.

I want to thank all of you for all of your support over the years, and I hope that you will support Scott as he takes over the reigns.

See you on the air!
