Hello all,

The hottest July ever recorded in Holland was followed by the wettest August ever recorded :-( We only had one dry day, I think. Oh well, it was good for the hobby. I finally installed my receivers but haven't been very active on HF so far. I found a very nice gadget "TRUNKVIEW", a MPT1327 decoder and discovered many new stations on VHF/UHF.

I have included some ute stuff in this edition of N&O. Mostly satellite stuff, as requested. I received a request for a DRM section. Although this has nothing to do with Numbers Stations or Utility Stations, I think that this would be an interesting item for many people. Unfortunately I have very little knowledge of this mode. If one of you would like to fill some space with DRM and/or DAB info, please let me know.

Ok, that's it. Back to the numbers. I have updated the Cluster Beacons / Channel Markers lists. They are included in the MORSE section.

Message samples were received from Mike and included throughout the newsletter.

A big THANK YOU to all the contributors. Your input is greatly appreciated.
