ATTN. TO ALL DX CONTRIBUTORS:  RE: VACATION --- Dear DX Friends, I
really appreciate you e-mail your Loggings and / or Newsletters for

Hot Temperature here in Roma (with peaks of 120 degrees Fahrenheit !).
On September I' ll be on real vacation in Northen Italy and in England,
of course, with my Sony ICF 2001 D; to avoid an overload of my e-mail
