Presents detailed expedition charts and statistics for the **XX9W** DXpedition, covering operating time, total QSOs, unique calls, and duplicate QSOs. The resource provides comprehensive band and mode breakdowns, including FT8, SSB, CW, and FM, across 80m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m, 6m, 2m, and 70cm. Users can access DXCC statistics by band and mode, daily QSO totals, and multiband QSO statistics. Continent-by-mode and continent-by-band breakdowns are also available, detailing activity from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America. The platform also tracks the expedition's impact on user totals, showing new band, new mode, new band + new mode, new slot, and new DXCC contacts.

TX5EU 2026 DXpedition to Raivavae Island, **OC-114**, within the Austral Islands, providing a detailed account of the German/Dutch team's operations. The resource outlines the participation of operators such as DL2AWG Guenter, PA2KW Evert, and DK2AMM Ernoe, who engaged in CW, SSB, RTTY, and various digital modes. It documents the real-world challenges encountered, including significant equipment failures and antenna damage to 80/60m, 30m, and 10m verticals due to adverse storm conditions. The page offers timely news updates on the expedition's progress, noting repairs to a power amplifier's 10/12m bandpass filter, which enabled three stations to utilize amplification. Earlier reports highlighted power failures and the loss of multiple power amplifiers, necessitating one station to operate barefoot FT-8 with 100W. The team's persistent efforts to repair antennas as weather permits are also detailed, reflecting the dynamic nature of remote island operations.

The WSJT Log Viewer, version 1.0.0.10 as of 2026-08-02, is a freeware Windows application developed by Carsten Groen (OZ9AAR) for analyzing signal strengths from WSJT digital mode contacts. It processes the ALL.TXT log file generated by WSJT-X, extracting and presenting data from decoded TX and RX messages. Initially designed for EME operations on 70cm and 23cm, the software has expanded to include all HF bands, 6m, 4m, 2m, 1.25m, 70cm, 23cm, 24GHz, and 47GHz. Key features include displaying total QSOs, unique callsigns, days with activity, and signals heard, with filtering options by band and completed QSOs. The application also monitors the ALL.TXT file for live updates every two seconds, reflecting new decodes in real-time. Users can view session logs, activity charts showing daily signal counts and decoded signals, and a "Top Partners" tab listing the 25 most frequent contacts. The software provides detailed QSO information, including best received SNR and sent reports, with graphical representations of SNR over time. It supports multiple "My Callsign" entries within a single ALL.TXT file and offers a function to generate a text list of initials worked per band. The program is distributed as a single executable file, requiring no installation, and stores its configuration in a LogViewer.cfg file, allowing for different setups via command-line arguments.

The LICW Challenge is a daily event for ham radio operators, with special weekly on-air classes. It resets quarterly and covers bands from 160m to 2m, focusing on CW only. The event offers various point values based on member categories and bonus opportunities. Participants use specific calling frequencies and a CQ format to exchange information. Bonus points are awarded for specific criteria like contacts outside North America or special monthly members. The goal is to work as many LICW members as possible on different bands to earn points and bonuses.
