I, too, suspect that there would be considerable interest in DX info
on this net. I want to suggest that you expand the scope to include
the AMSAT DX info, which you may be able to get through KA9Q, who is
on this list. The Amateur Satellite DX group is quite avid.

As for myself, the interest is VHF DX - primarily six meters. I did a
one-man DXpedition to FG0 (FG0HZW) in June-July 1983. All operation
was on six and I had about 180 different contacts (mostly US) in the
two weeks. The ONE main central source of VHF/UHF DX info is W3XO, who
does the column in QST - but he isn't on this net. K2UYH is the center
of 432 ( moon ) DX news. The 'real' jobs of these people:

W3XO, Johns Hopkins U., Applied Physics Lab.
K2UYH, Trenton (NJ) State College.

Again, keep up the DX news.......
