From: K6PBT
Ref: PBT Databases
Hello everyone!
Following our recent move and getting the ham shack in order, the
DX PacketCluster databases were ready for updating. Almost each
database which I have put together for the PacketCluster network
required updating or was enhanced. These included BUREAU, CONTEST,
COORD, DEALER, FCC, FLUX, INFO, IOTA, IRC, RULES, and TODAY.
And, a new database, SWL joins the package. It's a guide to the times
and frequencies of major foreign broadcast stations. The shortwave
listners' world changes rapidly, so this guide is just that. A guide.
Now you have an online reference to check who might be operating on
a particular frequency, or it's 0400 hours and you'd like to see who
might be broadcasting and where.
Remember, all databases are available to you via GODISK or from
DX-BBS. On DX-BBS, you'll find periodic updates to many of these
fine databases, including COUNTY, EXTRA, LADDER, STARS, as well as
other great databases such as ALLOCations, DXCC, DXNODES, QSLREC,
and 1010.
