Unfortunately I am not able to receive messages via the packet radio network anymore. My home mailbox shut down its service and even my local digipeater has been closed lately. Since there is no other 1k2 digipeater in my area it is useless to send me DX information via packet radio. There was a total of only three messages for the DXNL which were sent to me via packet radio in 2002 so I assume it is useless to keep up a packet radio access. Please keep sending your DX information via e-mail or other means!
