News from the VHF Database:
---------------------------
Guido,DL8EBW, sent us following message:
"Dear VHF-DATABASE-friends, a year is over again and we will be able to
spread around a new issue of the VHF-DATABASE (2.60-10/2009) to private
users as well as to all interested DX-Cluster Sysops (DX-Cluster-Types: CLX,
SPIDER, AK1A and/or DXNet). The source of VHF-DATABASE can be found at our
VHF portal MMMonVHF. In the last months a lot of sort functions and several
visualisation tools were added to the website. After logging in at MMMonVHF
you are able to use all these functions and also the download of the free
MS databases (Call3.txt for WSJT!). If that is still not enough and you want
to have your own User VHF-DATABASE file or a DX-Cluster version we are able
to provide you with a D-base, WIN-zipped file which will be published once
a year in autumn. If you are interested in more details (VHF260e.pdf), the
history (history.pdf) or other information please visit our MMMonVHF forum:
http://www.mmmonvhf.de/minibb/index.php?action=vtopic&forum=3
Wish you a lot of fun with the new VHF-Database!
73 de DL8EBW Guido (Guy), team of MMMonVHF - the VHF-DX-Portal."
