ADXO web site enhancement

Bill, NG3K, has installed a new feature on his 'Announced DX Operations (ADXO)' Web page at: http://www.ng3k.com/
Misc/adxo.html

Beginning April 25, 2008, active DX operations now include a link to the DX Watch spot database. The link takes the form - [spots] - and is located beneath the callsign in the Call field for most active DX operations listed in ADXO.

A user clicking on this link will view a real-time list of recent
DX Cluster spots for the call in question. Users can, if they choose, open the link in a new tab or window. This enhancement lets users immediately see whether or not an announced DX operation has actually been spotted, which bands and modes the operator is using, and where his signal is being heard.

Bill states, "For the present, links are not provided for additional operators at some multi-op operations. But, if ADXO users find the new capability useful, I may try to expand its coverage to multi-op expeditions. I am also considering using this capability as a tool for weeding out
announced operations that, for whatever reason, never took place.

Comments and suggestions will be welcome and may be addressed to: Bill@ng3k.com
My thanks go to Felipe, PY1NB, and DX Watch for making this possible. While you're visiting DX Watch, be sure to take the time to look around. Felipe has created a remarkable and innovative 2nd generation DX spotting
application that integrates data from packet cluster, qrz.com, and 425DXN."
