Well, it is indeed my pleasure to keep you up to speed on this great DX story. The 9M0L team is active and on the air. Our wish is to pass as much detailed information to you as possible, those who make up the team, what frequencies they operate on, what bands and any information concerning website availability; in short, any information we have which will make your job just a little easier as you chase some of your favorite DX across the bands. And of course, one of our goals is to pass detailed QSL information your way as it is made available to us.
