Unfortunatelly we've lost a big friend and very important enthusiastic Dx'pedinionary. Mário went Qrt last July , with 67 years old just arrived from Hidenseen Island last 2 weeks on June. For many years we have enjoyed listening Mário operations with his particular way to do. Mário ,DJŘMW it was a Dxer of note.
