EDITOR'S NOTE
Due to health problems Karlfried, DL1EK, is momentarily not able to publish the DX Newsletter every week. I will help out for a few issues but I have not all sources available which Karlfried has. Please be indulgent with me.
All the best wishes and a speedy recovery to Karlfried, DL1EK!
