"The DX Compilation" July 25, 2025

This weekly newsletter is completely free. It is a summary of information on DX traffic, expeditions, activities, special calls, and contests, mentioned in various international newsletters:

Daily & Weekly DX, W1AW (ARRL DX-News), 425DXnews, DXnews.com, OPDX Bulletin, PG7V,

UA9QCQ, DX-World, Info-Radio (I1SCL), DARC DXMB, Radio HF Newsletter, DXing.com, etc.

This newsletter is a digest. I collate, translate, sort, and reduce the information as much as possible.

It is constantly updated and sent weekly by email to subscribed readers.

It is personally written and formatted to be as user-friendly as possible.

Its content is intended to be reliable and responsive. It is verified and updated daily.

It does not repeat systematically "copy-pasting" announcements read here and there,

as far too many blogs and websites do, thus spreading a good number of errors.

Since 2010, "The DX Compilation" has been distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International" license.

Read the description: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/

For the redistribution of this bulletin, a request for "prior agreement to sharing"

is welcome, and attribution to the editor is required.

Happy reading, happy listening, and happy contacts - 73 Gaby F5PSI https://www.qrz.com/db/F5PSI

[DX is "long-distance" traffic, and it's only one facet of amateur radio]


This bulletin does not include activities on the 6m (50 MHz), VHF, UHF, and beyond bands. This is a deliberate choice, not a value judgment. I leave it to others to take on the task of creating a bulletin specific to all these bands.

Since the DX Compilation is updated several times a day, taking into account changes received, additions concerning calls or pending dates, and the announcements are listed chronologically and by country, the information would be incomplete if one only read the first few pages of the bulletin.

For the best use of the bulletin, it is therefore advisable to read it in its entirety each week.

To receive the "DX Compilation" each week, simply send me a simple email: f5psi@wanadoo.fr

Today, there are 266 subscribers, including OMs, YLs, Radio Clubs, and SWLs from all over the world.


Thank you to Gaby F5PSI to authorize me to share all this DX information.
