WABA DIRECTORY  ---> The  Diamond  DX Club  presented  the new  WABA  (Worked
Antarctic Bases Award)  e-Directory during the  HF-DX Convention in  Bologna.
The    web     version     is    available     on     the     DDXC's     site
(http://www.ddxc.net/directory/), the  paper version  (.pdf format)  will  be
downloadable starting  on 1  January 2003,  when  the new  Directory  becomes
effective. Due to the many changes  in the Antarctic  base listings, a  forum
has been opened  on the  web site  (click on  Forum in  the header  section):
please do *not* send your comments, questions etc. to the web master (Egidio,
IZ8BRI), but use the forum instead.
