This is a reminder to presumably the most-dedicated of topband
DXers---those on this list--- that there is an active new Topband
Most-Wanted Survey that needs the participation of all serious topband
DX-chasers.

Your reference below to NI6T should be to NI5T. I was never happy about
their callsign choice for their contest station, for obvious reasons,
and your observation merely serves to maximize my discomfort. I was not

It is quite possible that the products--while claimed to meet Part

I would like to share with you what NX4D just found out. Doug has

find it everywhere, disconnected all appliances in

percentage of the funds but doesn't get that percentage in Q's. I forget
which group it was posted in.

It appears to be the case that NA finances the big trips and EU gets the
Q's. That needs to be ironed out.
