Topband: "The DX Summit"

[alan eshleman]

I've found that the best way to get a spot up on DX Summit or Ham Radio Deluxe is to first post your spot to a DX Telnet site.  These postings are almost always picked up by Web-based sites like DX summit.

Here in Northern California I use dxc.n7tr.com
telnet is built into Windows, though if you have the execrable Windows Vista it may take a little digging.

Good luck.
