WELL, this is our autumn, which means the beginning of our DX season. In fact, dxing conditions have improved a great deai lately. Ali enthusiastic dxers are having their sets aligned and adjusted and all the aeriais have been prepared for 2 good season. I got my set ready for the battle and last month proved favourable to me. Although general conditions have improved, the 20-metre band is still the best. Good dxing can be obtained only by midnight, though there are many stations on the air from 6.0 p.m. Stations heard last month are: VUD2, VUD3, XTJ, Radio Hanoi, Radio Burma, TGWB, T120FR, HITABD, TI2XD, ZRK, ZRJ, and ZRH.
