60m newsletter 9-30-21 by Joe, W8GEX

Since Covid, I haven't sent as many newsletters out because the DXpedition activity has been very low to none at all. Years ago when I started, it was to generate activity and now there have been 235 countries on the band. I only report 60m DX news. I send out notes to upcoming DXpeditions asking them to get on the band and hand out a ATNO or to generate activity if the country has been on in the past.

All newsletters are on the website: www.60metersonline.com
