HOW IT WORKS       
Cumbre is sent out FREE to those who have contributed to that       
particular issue, ie. you will receive those issues that       
you have contributed to.  There are no subscriptions to Cumbre       
and it is not to be redistributed or reposted without permission.        
It is only fair that everyone receiving Cumbre DX should have to       
contribute to it.   If you know someone who you would like to       
send a Cumbre DX to then let us know and we will gladly send       
them the latest issue as a sample.         
       
CUMBRE DX WANTS & WELCOMES YOUR LOGGINGS!       
     
WHAT KIND OF LOGGINGS?      
Cumbre DX primarly focuses on timely, uncommon and arduous     
Shortwave DX and Clandestine Stations.  Please send ONLY     
your  "best" loggings and/or hottest info.  Electronic     
distribution of information can be volatile and is best suited to     
those which have a TIME VALUE.  For other items, such as     
schedules and non-DX type logs, we suggest that you support     
your favorite printed publication by forwarding them this type     
of information.   Due to space limitations, Cumbre does not cover     
MW, LW and Pirate Stations normally.  Pirate loggings should     
be sent to The Free Radio Weekly at:  piradio@xxxxxxxx    
E-mail them for more info.    
    
LOG FORMAT       
When writing your loggings, please use the following format:       
       
COUNTRY - FREQUENCY (kHz) - STATION - TIME (UTC)    
-  PROGRAM DETAILS - YOUR NAME & DATE       
       
Example:       
COSTA RICA  4831.8  R. Reloj  0200  SS ID with national  
and international nx by M anncr.  (Burns NOV 23)       
       
Following this format it makes possible for the editors to use  
your  material.  Logs  that are not in this format are usually the  
first to be omitted or  cut.  Please keep loggings to kHz and DO  
NOT use mHz.  Many DXers use frequency search features on  
their word processors to check for past loggings.       
    
Also let us know where you are.  Cumbre DX is a Global SWL    
DX Bulletin.  We have contributors from every continent.    
    
WHERE TO SEND YOUR LOGS       
It is preferred that you send your loggings to the editor that is       
doing the next issue.  If you do not know who is editing the  
next  issue then send it to any of the editors.  Their address'  
along with issue dates  are listed above.   CompuServe  
contributors may send their loggings to Hans Johnson directly. 
Please do not shotgun your loggings to every editor.           
       
WHAT IF I HAVE NO LOGS THAT WEEK OR I DID NOT       
HEAR ANYTHING WORTH REPORTING?       
Then let us know.   Cumbre's contributors are valued and       
appreciated.  You, the contributors,  are what makes Cumbre DX    
"The Firstest with the Bestest."  Not everyone is SWL'er of the    
week every week.          
     
YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS, COMMENTS AND  
SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME!
