wish to remain listed should make a submission on or before 31 January".

OPDX MAILING LIST ---> On 11 January the server that  Tedd, KB8NW  had  used
since the  late  Eighties  was  "hacked and wiped", and the  OPDX Bulletin's

bulletins can be still read online at  http://www.papays.com/opdx.html  (see
OPDX #1398 for further information).  Those needing  to contact  Tedd should
