Editor's Note:
There will be no DX Newsletter next week. This weekend I am attending the annual meeting of the DARC Committee for DX and HF Contesting and some obligations at my company make it impossible to prepare a bulletin for the next week. The next DX Newsletter will be published on Mar 25, 2004.
