DX Monitor
by VE3SUN
DX Monitor is a standalone Windows 95 (and NT) program which monitors
the DX announcements available at
DX Summit provided by OH2BUA and the OH2AQ group.
Now with maps
and Callbook CDRom lookup!
OH2BUA is closing down! Current users of DX Monitor should change
to the new URLs by pressing F10, selecting URLs and pasting the new URLs into the
appropriate places.

If you download the latest version, you will still need to change the URLs manually
because the old URL is saved in the registry.
You can do this by selecting the down-arrow at the right of each URL entry.
Version 0.89 sends DX Spots and Announcements (finally), via the new web site.
Please do not abuse this feature.
