>>> MAINTENANCE AT 425 DX NEWS <<<
Extraordinary maintenance at 425DXN is still in progress and hopefully it will finish early next week. When the new sofware works at full capacity, we will be able to offer better services, but for the time being the web site, the mailing lists, etc. are down. Please note that messages sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] may be undeliverable for a few days. The 425 DX News monthly edition (March issue) has been prepared regularly by Maurizio Bertolino (I1-21171/IZ1CRR). It includes the full results of the 425DXN "DXpedition of the Year" survey, with a picture of the Trophy itself (which will be presented to the ST0RY team at Friedrichshafen in late June) and the voters' listing. The monthly edition will be available for free downloading at http://www.425dxn.org/monthly/ when the web site is again up and running. Thank you for your patience!
