               BETA-Version (ms183_beta) of the
     Meteorscatter-Database of the VHF-DX-Group DL-West


Hallo dear meteorscatter friends, 

as you possible know, the VHF-DX-Group DL-West has built up the
VHF-database, to spread infos about activities and locations
of active VHF-DXers. One part of our VHF-database is the: 
                      
                  Meteorscatter-Database
      
Today we will be able to spread out our ms-database beta version
1.83 - After all corrections we will be able to spread out the 
version ms185 and wsjt185 in begin of may 2002 for free again!
These moment we have about 2800 data-sentences in the beta version.

So please help to find any faults in the beta version and send
us your actual information! For the format, please refer to the 
info file down of these text and send it back to the editior of
this database: 

DL8EBW, Guido Juenkersfeld, c/o VHF-DX-Group DL-West 

via PR-BBS-System:       DB0NDK.#NRW.DEU.EU 
via Cluster-System:      DB0MDX or DB0NOR-9 
via e-mail:              dl8ebw at t-online.de

These meteorscatter-database will be given out again as a text file
(zipped). The beta-version will be not usable to use direct in any
programm (eg WSJT, EA6VQ-Log, OH6HFX, Clusters etc...). As we said 
above, the ms185 will follow in may 02 and than we also give out an
WSJT file again! (For any use in a dx-cluster, VQLog or OH6HFX program 
you still need our VHF-Database (actual issue 1.80 / 10/01) 


You can download the meteorscatter-database version: ms183_beta.zip
