"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.

RSGB IOTA Contest 2025 the 26 and 25 July.
https://www.contestcalendar.com/contestdetails.php?ref=75
The next RSGB IOTA contest will take place on July 26-27, 2025.
The RSGB IOTA (Islands On The Air) contest is back, and for many radio amateurs, it's a highlight of the season. Organized by the Radio Society of Great Britain, this popular contest traditionally takes place on the last weekend of July and is the perfect opportunity to activate islands or work on the HF bands.
With participants from every continent, this competition is one of the most international and lively on the calendar. The format is simple yet demanding: work as many island stations as possible in 24 hours. This ensures intense activity on 80 to 10 meters, with an emphasis on strategy, propagation knowledge, and logging discipline.
Whether you're participating from an island or your own station, this is an excellent opportunity to work on new DXCC entities, IOTA references, and prefixes. For expedition teams, it's often a great combination of adventure, technology, and camaraderie.
Now's the time to plan, update your recording software, test your antennas, and maybe even book a venue for IOTA. Time is running out; so get ready, because the next RSGB IOTA competition promises to be another unforgettable radio adventure.
IOTA refers to the RSGB's "Islands in the Air" awards. A beginner's guide to the IOTA accreditation system and more information about the IOTA competition are available on the IOTA competition information page and FAQ.
A beginner's guide to entering the competition is available here:

Next RSGB IOTA Contest: 26-27 July 2025
The RSGB IOTA Contest, using the Islands on the Air concept, was created in 1993. This is now a major international event, attracting thousands of participants from all over the world. Radio Amateurs will be travelling to islands around the globe, and putting them on the air, making contacts with other islands and with those who are chasing islands.
Contest bands are 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m and 10m, both CW and phone. The duration is 24 hours, starting at 12:00 UTC on Saturday (1 p.m. UK time). Stations send a signal report and serial number, with stations on islands sending their IOTA reference number, described below.
The next RSGB IOTA Contest is 26-27 July 2025, and a guide for newcomers to the contests is at www.rsgbcc.org/hf/information/iotahelp.shtml .
The IOTA Contest is based on the RSGB Islands on the Air awards programme which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. The IOTA idea was conceived in 1964 by British short wave listener Geoff Watts (SK), who imagined that those of us who live in crowded cities would love to set up a station on a sunny beach among palm trees. This prospect is appealing to Radio Amateurs, even if the island in question might not be further away from the UK mainland than the Isle of Wight!
Geoff realised that there were too many islands in the world to enumerate, so he grouped together islands, particularly when they were small. In the IOTA programme numbers are allocated to each group using a continental prefix. The basic IOTA award requires contacts with 100 islands and groups including at least one from each continent. Entrants can obtain award credit for QSOs made in the RSGB IOTA Contest.
The IOTA Reference, sent by Island Stations in the IOTA Contest, consists of two letters indicating the continent, and a number indicating the allocated reference within that continent.
For example:
EU115 | EU = Europe | Ireland |
AF032 | AF = Africa | Zanzibar |
AN003 | AN = Antarctica | Heard Island |
AS020 | AS = Asia | Taiwan |
NA107 | NA = North America | Martinique |
OC225 | OC = Oceania | Turtle Islands |
SA004 | SA = South America | Galapagos Greek Islands https://www.qsl.net/sv2ael/sv2ael.files/sviota.htm |
Next year in 2026 a Islands of the world contest open to SWL and amateur radio operators
Concours RSGB IOTA (Islands On The Air) |
![]() Le prochain concours RSGB IOTA aura lieu les 26 et 27 juillet 2025. Le concours RSGB IOTA (Islands On The Air) revient et, pour de nombreux radioamateurs, il s'agit d'un moment fort de la saison. Organisé par la Radio Society of Great Britain, ce concours populaire se déroule traditionnellement le dernier week-end de juillet et constitue l'occasion idéale d'activer des îles ou de travailler sur les bandes HF. Avec des participants venus de tous les continents, cette compétition est l'une des plus internationales et des plus animées du calendrier. Le format est simple mais exigeant : travailler sur un maximum de stations insulaires en 24 heures. Cela garantit une activité intense sur 80 à 10 mètres, en mettant l'accent sur la stratégie, la connaissance de la propagation et la discipline du log. Que vous participiez depuis une île ou votre propre station, c'est une excellente occasion de travailler sur de nouvelles entités DXCC, des références IOTA et des préfixes. Pour les équipes d'expédition, c'est souvent une excellente combinaison d'aventure, de technologie et de camaraderie. C'est le moment de planifier, de mettre à jour votre logiciel d'enregistrement, de tester vos antennes et peut-être même de réserver un lieu pour l'IOTA. Le temps presse ; alors préparez-vous, car le prochain concours RSGB IOTA promet d'être une nouvelle aventure radio inoubliable. IOTA fait référence aux récompenses « Îles sur l'air » de la RSGB.
