Q5 WORLDWIDE HAM RADIO ---> Founded and hosted by  Kevin Thomas (W1DED),  Q5 Worldwide Ham Radio is  "a modern, multi-channel media platform for amateur radio - because how people engage with content has changed.  Some read. Some listen. Some scroll. We meet operators where they are, delivering thoughtful stories, sharp interviews,  and curated insights across  Substack,  YouTube, podcast platforms, and more.
We take  the craft seriously:  strong writing,  compelling photography,  and real editing - not just content  for content's sake.  Our job is  to inform, inspire,  and elevate the conversation - so hams  can focus  on what they do best: innovating, operating, and keeping the spirit of amateur radio alive". See https://www.q5hamradio.com/ for the  direct links  to Q5 online magazine (Substack), video interviews (YouTube), audio podcasts (Spotify), and social media (Facebook and Instagram).

QSL 3B9FR --->
Charles, M0OXO,  is  no longer  the  QSL  manager  for 3B9FR. "Robert has recently returned to the hobby after a break", Charles says. "He now wishes to pursue the QSO confirmation route  personally by himself.  He states that he no longer wishes to use LoTW, QRZ.Com  or Club Log  and asks that should  anyone require a card,  they should email him personally".  See https://www.qrz.com/db/3B9FR for the details.  All current QSL card requests using M0OXO's OQRS have been completed and are up to date (pending the next bureau shipment).

THE VU4AX DX-ADVENTURE BOOK ---> With its 56 full-color pages  in A4 format,
this book "offers an exclusive  behind-the-scenes look at the  VU4AX DXpedi-
tion,  featuring  stories and  stunning photographs  from the  participating
operators". See https://www.dx-adventure.com/en/vu4ax-book/ for the details.

+ SILENT KEY + The International Amateur Radio Union has announced the passing of David Court (EI3IO)  earlier this month.  "David was a leading figure in  international  spectrum  management  on behalf  of the  amateur service, bringing decades of  technical and regulatory experience  to  his  volunteer work at the highest levels of global telecommunications governance. David served on the IARU Region 1 Executive Committee and was a key contributor to  IARU's presence in the  International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and regional telecommunication organizations such as CEPT. His leadership was particularly critical in  advancing amateur access to the 50 MHz band, culminating in the  successful outcome at  WRC-19,  where a 6-meter  allocation was approved  on a  secondary basis  in many  countries".
