The International DX Association recently coordinated multiple resources from around the world to help improve the only amateur radio station on Tristan da Cunha:

INDEXA does not normally support private stations. However, in this case we had the only licensed ham on a remote island entity whose population is around 250 people. ZD9 is #55 on the most wanted DXCC list (Club Log) even after some serious activity by ZD9W in 2023. In addition, we already had extraordinary support from ICOM, DX Engineering, WIMO and YASME.

NCDXF is pleased to announce an $8,000 grant to Michael, G7VJR for a hardware upgrade to Club Log:

Club Log is used by DXers and DXpeditioners all around the world. “Club Log is a free service operating at a global scale, supporting 130,000 callsigns and storing 1.25 billion QSOs. Every second of every day, a worldwide base of HF DXers rely on Club Log to enhance their enjoyment of the hobby. To many, Club Log’s features and tools and integral to their pursuit of DX. To operate at this scale, Club Log uses high-end servers of the kind you might find in a major internet company’s data centers. Paying for this has only been possible due to major foundations stepping in to give us the help needed. Our server equipment was last updated in 2019, and in the intervening time the use of data modes and our popular livestreams feature has expanded dramatically, putting higher and higher loads on our existing systems.

NASA Satellite That’s Been Dead for 57 Years Sends Mysterious Signal to Earth:

A little over a year ago, scientists in Australia picked up a brief burst of electromagnetic radiation. The pulse was so strong that it eclipsed all other signals coming from the sky, but its origins were unknown. After digging through the data, the team discovered that the source wasn’t a distant celestial object but rather a zombie satellite left to orbit Earth with no purpose.
