MMMonVHF DX Client (MDC):
The MMMonVHF DX Client (MDC) is an easy to use, yet powerful and
intuitive tool which has been developed in order to make the daily
life of a "DXer" a bit more simpler. The initial idea was to combine
the popular ON4KST chat with the usage of the DXBlog tool of MMMonVHF
and to reduce the upcoming traffic to a minimum. After many hours of
byte tweaking this resulted in the development of a more comfortable
telnet client, which could be adopted to the special requirements and
functions of the ON4KST chat and combined with the ability to use the
same program as a DXBlog and furthermore granting traffic optimized
access to the JT65 EME Chat. Read more and all in detail, as well get
the links for download here: http://www.mmmonvhf.de/mdc.php

Faroes, OY. Beacon:
According to Ivan OZ7IS, the Faroe beacon on 6 meter is now up
running again. Call have been changed to OY6BEC to match the call of
the other beacons at the site. The beacon still uses 50.035 MHz,
reports/spot at the cluster would be appreciated to map its coverage.
