[Dxbase] RE: Dxbase Digest, Vol 5, Issue 19

[Joseph Glockner]

Bill,

Well frm what you all have found out - it looks like it is time
to make a "change" to the ARRL-ID for P5 .... from 433 to 344 ...

That change will be easy enough - since there is no "contending"
country with a 344 currently -- so, we can just simply change the
433 over to read 344 ...

Tnx Bill for the Heads-UP.
