>>> REMINDER: 425 DX NEWS IS MOVING TO GOOGLE GROUPS <<<
The mailing list for 425 DX News is in the process of migrating permanently
to Google Groups. Current subscribers to [425ENG] will NOT be added
automatically to the new mailing list. You will have to subscribe by going

During the transition period, 425 DX News will be sent to either the old
and the new mailing lists, in order to give our readers enough time to
resubscribe. Effective 1 JULY 2010, the old mailing list will cease to
exist, and only those who have joined the group will continue receiving
