                 >>> 425 DX NEWS IS MOVING TO GOOGLE GROUPS <<<

The mailing list for 425 DX News is in the process of migrating permanently
to Google Groups. Current subscribers to [425ENG] will NOT be added
automatically to the new mailing list. You will have to subscribe by going
to http://groups.google.com/group/425eng
During the transition period, 425 DX News will be sent to either the old
and the new mailing lists, in order to give our readers enough time to
resubscribe. Effective 1 JULY 2010, the old mailing list will cease to
exist, and only those who have joined the group will continue receiving
425DXN. Inquiries should be sent to Steve, IK4WMH (steve[at]ik4wmh.net).

425 DX NEWS가 항상 주말에 발표되는데, 이번에는 며칠늦네요, 따라서 BDXC도 늦어지고...

[DS5DNO]

저쪽에서는 6/5 발표 되었습니다.

[DS5DNO]

지난 주말 회사 행사로 바빴고, 보통 오던 메일 ds5dno@kornet.net에 없어져서 다른 메일을 포워딩하여 올리다 보니 많이 늦었습니다. 글꼴도 이상하게 바꿨지요...
