*Message 1: **LG5LG & SJ9WL -- Norway and Sweden*

 From QRZ.com (edited by OPDX):

Operators Martin/DK4WM, Joerg/DK3JF and Ingomar/DL9ET, and along with 
local support, will be active as LG5LG and/or SJ9WL, from the amateur 
radio station in Morokulien (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morokulien), 
between April 27th and May 2nd.

Morokulien is a unique six-hectare cross-border area between Norway and 
Sweden. It was established in 1914 to commemorate a century of peace 
between the two nations and is home to the famous Peace Monument. The 
radiostation itself is situated directly on the border.

The team will operate using the callsigns LG5LG (Norway) and SJ9WL 
(Sweden), alternating between them on a daily basis.

The station will operate on all HF bands (160-6m) in SSB, RTTY, FT8/FT4 
and CW. QSL via QSL Manager Sverre Aarstaft (LA7TIA). LoTW is also 
potentially available.

Award: The "Morokulien Award" can be earned by making at least two 
contacts with each callsign (4 QSOs in total). Please send log excerpts 
to LA7TIA for the award.
(See Morokulien station website at:http://www.sj9wl-lg5lg.com/text1_2.html)

*H. Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station*– Poland’s calling card at the 
end of the world

*The 50th Polish Antarctic Expedition to the Henryk Arctowski Station 
(2026)*

History rewritten – we dreamed that during this anniversary expedition, 
the HF0POL callsign would once again be heard over the airwaves. The 
50th anniversary was the perfect opportunity to return the callsign to 
its original place – the Arctowski Station. At the same time, we wanted 
to set straight a story from years ago. Unfortunately, this proved 
impossible. It hurts. The real art is opening a second door when the 
first is closed. A new callsign lies ahead of us.

One of the expedition members is Rafał, SQ4O. His daily task will be to 
professional workin veryspecific conditions. He is going there with one 
intention – that the voice of amateur radio operators will once again be 
broadcast to the world from Arctowski. He cannot promise anything (it's 
not DX expedition), but he will do everything he can to make it happen.

*Message 3: **OX3LX - IOTA references and QSL information*

*Subject:* [IOTA-chasers] OX3LX - IOTA references and QSL information

Hi,

I am new to this group, and I have just been informed that I might need 
to upload the IOTA references to _https://www.iota-world.org/_ 
<https://www.iota-world.org/>

I took over as QSL MGR from OZ1PIF (SK) in 2016/2017 and I have sent a 
lot of direct QSL cards mostly via Germany cause to the low postage 
prices. In Denmark 95% af all “letters” are digital, and a letter out of 
Denmark is present USD 7,50 / EUR 7,00. And cause to shift of postal 
company to a private company there is no guarantee of delivery. I come 
to Germany a few times every year and send all direct QSL from there.

OX3LX, Bo is uploading to LoTW with correct IOTA and locator. I only 
upload busted calls, mostly from QSL received via buro. Present I have 
33 different QTHs where 2 of them are QO-100 satellite QSOs. I handle 
the paper QSL card.

The log of OX3LX has present approx. 100.000 QSOs and the oldest are 
from 1986!! I will later this year find time to report the IOTAs of 
OX3LX to the IOTA program. If there are any urgent confirmation to the 
IOTA program, please do not hesitate to contact me OF THE LIST. I am 
very busy with work until 1 July.

I have agreed with VE3KYC, Cezar and K3EST, Bob that I make a file to be 
uploaded to_https://www.iota-world.org/_ 
<https://www.iota-world.org/> We only must find out what is missing.

Present I have approx. 80 direct QSLs going out from Kassel, Germany 
Friday where I am at Kassel FunkTAG Saturday. All direct QSLs ordered 
via Clublog OQRS (_https://clublog.org/logsearch.php_ 
<https://clublog.org/logsearch.php>) and with QSOs worked latest on 17 
April 2026 and ordered latest on 21 April are printed. QSOs after these 
dates will be send later this year.

If any on this group need printed QSL card of OX3LX (or OX0J, NA-220) I 
will be at Dayton Hamvention next month. Please 
check_https://clublog.org/logsearch.php_ 
<https://clublog.org/logsearch.php> for your valid QSOs and then send me 
an e-mail OF THE LIST with your call sign not later than 8 May 2026. If 
you come to Dayton Hamvention, I can bring the printed QSL card free of 
charge Dayton Hamvention.

You can always see next shipment of direct QSL card 
on_https://www.qrz.com/db/OZ0J_ <https://www.qrz.com/db/OZ0J>

I recommend that you DO NOT send direct QSL letters to Denmark for 
request. I am not sure whatever I will get your letters.

I will get the full log of OX3LX for the present trip when Bo is back in 
Denmark later this month.

Thank you

73, Joe, OZ0J

*Message 5: 3X3A -- Guinea (Update April 24th)*

 From Elvira, IV3FSG, on FaceBook (edited by OPDX):

⚠️ ARE YOU READY FOR THE LAST QSO? 📡 3X3A
🌍 Tomorrow, April 25th, my adventure here on Roume Island will come to 
an end. It has been an intense two weeks filled with heavy pile-ups, 
challenging propagation conditions, and the joy of connecting with so 
many friends from every corner of the world.

📡 I am about to begin my final hours of operation: I’ll be doing my 
best to get as many of you as possible into the log before I start 
taking down the antennas.

🎧 Thank you all for your incredible support, your patience during the 
QSB, and the warmth you’ve shared with me over the airwaves.

🚀 Catch you on the air for the final sprint!

*Message 6: TX9W -- Marquesas Islands (Update April 24th)*

 From the TX9W FaceBook page; written by Craig W5CCP (edited by OPDX):

1#
We had a challenging day at TX9W. Power surges and an overabundance of 
stray RF has blown the KIO3 boards in BOTH K3s We’ve had to change 
software release versions on WSJTx, MSHV AND N1MM to make anything work. 
Almost one year of preparation seemingly didn’t  buy us much 🤷‍♂️. From 
the team: thank you for your continued patience - we are sorry

2#
We will install the 60 m vertical in the morning with the intention of 
running 60 m tomorrow evening and night as well as another scheduled 
time of 160 m operation. After tomorrow night, we will convert WD5COV’s 
Top Band Express to 80 m and leave it on 80 for the rest of the trip. We 
are giving Europe and northern Europe a lot of attention on this 
DXpedition 👍.

We are trying ! The focus will be a lot more CW for the rest of the trip 
but we will always have at least one station running FT8

Nice to hear from you !
GL and 73
