ARLA/CLUSTER: DX material 1 (amended) & 2 merged together.

[Carlos L.R. de A.Gonçalves]

Hello all!
I chose to merge the previously sent mail with the rest of the DX suff I had
and correct the text alignment which just slipped the way it was because I
had copied from Word and then pasted it in the Outlook Express mail prgr
Sorry for the incovenience.
73,
Carlos.

Samuel Cássio e Nicolas Eramo:

Dear Anker & Wolfgang,

Só agora, ao receber as v/ mensagens, pude constatar que o m/ correio desta
passada 2ª-fª seguiu sem o respectivo anexo, e não entendo a razão.

Este é o material especialmente destinado à edição desta semana (nº 318) do
DX Window, que deveria ter acompanhado esse correio.    Dado, entretanto,
ter recolhido mais material em 19 e 20/2, este último seguirá mais tarde -
talvez ainda hoje ou amanhã.
____________

It was only today that I found out my last Monday's mssg. "took off" w/o its
attachment: I have no means to know the reason.

The following is the mssg. intended for this week's DX Window 318 edition
(thank you Anker).   Meanwhile, the items gathered after that, i.e. late on
19th & 20th inst. will be despatched either today or tomorrow.

73.
Carlos.
