** NOTE FROM EDITOR (By KB8NW): It was great being on holiday over the
past three weeks. I did a lot of traveling: first to the Day-Xenia
HamVention, then back home to pack for Murfreesboro, TN and Panama
City Beach, FL, and then back to Tennessee with a return to my home
in Strongsville, Ohio.
However, the amount of E-mail I received was overwhelming to go
through, and I have done my best in this issue to keep you updated
with the current and upcoming DX information.....
Thanks for the well needed time off...... 73 de Tedd KB8NW
