Operating in the Nordic region often requires specific call sign lookup tools, and this resource offers a dedicated search service for Swedish amateur radio operators. Users can query the database by entering a call sign, a family name, or a city, facilitating the identification of hams within Sweden. This functionality is particularly useful for DXers attempting to confirm contacts or for local hams seeking to connect with others in their area, leveraging the official data provided by the Swedish Amateur Radio Society (_SSA_). Such a lookup service streamlines the process of verifying contacts for awards like _DXCC_ or for general QSLing purposes. While many global callbooks exist, a national service like this often provides more granular and up-to-date information for its specific region. The ability to search by city can be especially beneficial for local rag-chewing or for coordinating activities within a specific geographic area, offering a practical complement to broader international databases.

Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark V Field review by W4TI

A 4 AMP / 18V regulated power supply schematic, designed by _ON6MU_, provides a detailed circuit diagram for constructing a robust power source. The design focuses on delivering a stable 18-volt output at up to 4 amperes, crucial for powering various amateur radio equipment. This resource presents a clear visual representation of component interconnections, including rectifiers, filter capacitors, and voltage regulation stages, essential for DIY enthusiasts building their shack infrastructure. The schematic's clarity facilitates understanding the power flow and component roles within the circuit. This circuit design offers a practical solution for hams needing a reliable 18V supply, potentially useful for driving specific transceivers, amplifiers, or accessory circuits. While specific performance measurements or comparisons to other designs are not detailed, the schematic itself serves as a foundational blueprint. Builders can adapt or modify the _power supply_ to suit their particular needs, such as integrating overcurrent protection or fine-tuning the output voltage with adjustable regulators. The straightforward presentation makes it accessible for those with basic electronics knowledge to assemble and troubleshoot.

The 3Y0K Log Online provides a detailed logsearch interface for the **3Y0K** DXpedition to Bouvet Island, scheduled for February 2026. This web-based tool, hosted on _Club Log_, allows users to access real-time QSO statistics and leaderboards. The interface includes interactive features such as a map for checking real-time propagation and colored boxes that reveal mode and time breakdowns when hovered over. The service supports HF bands and provides a structured overview of QSOs, including band/mode breakdowns and continent-specific data. Users can report logging inquiries and QSL requests exclusively through the M0OXO Online QSL Request System (**OQRS**). The site also offers additional resources like band plans, operating practices, and FT8 advice. The leaderboard feature, which includes clubs and Contest Club, ranks stations based on the number of band slots worked, with duplicate QSOs being discouraged. The expedition's impact on users' totals is also tracked, providing insights into new bands, modes, and DXCC entities worked. DXZone Focus: 3Y0K DXpedition | Club Log | Bouvet Island

The Northern Ohio DX Association (NODXA) operates a voice repeater on 147.36 MHz with a +600 kHz shift, utilizing the club callsign W8DXA. The organization provides an award program for contacting its members and offers DXCC and Honor Roll patches to recognize member achievements. NODXA publishes a monthly newsletter containing DX information and meeting minutes, with a recent brochure and membership application dated May 2024. The club actively promotes DXing, allocating a portion of its finances to support DXpeditions, and several members have also financed their own expeditions. The NODXA roster was last updated in June 2015, and a list of supported DXpeditions was revised in June 2024. Tedd Mirgliotta, KB8NW, serves as the club president and is the editor of the OPDX Bulletin, a widely distributed internet and packet cluster resource. Meetings are held on the first Monday of each month at Amici Italian Restaurant & Bar in North Royalton, Ohio, located at 13000 Royalton Road, near the intersection of Route 82 and W.130th Street. The club leadership includes Dennis Stuber, K8LBT, as Vice President; Glenn Williams, AF8C, as Secretary; and Mary Michaelis, N8DMM, as Treasurer.
