New Portal
--------------
The new portal is running on a J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) platform.
This makes further development easy for us.
We have a stable platform to build our network on.
New name
------------
As some of you have noticed we are no longer Javaradio.
Our new name is DX-Tuners. "DX" is an old radio term/abbreviation and it
means distant.
This reflects what we really do and that is of course tuning remotely located
receivers.
Win a brand new receiver on the portal
------------------------------------------
Right now we are having a contest where the winner gets a commercial grade
shortwave receiver.

Clean up of the user database
---------------------------------
Finally we have cleaned up the database. We removed all unused accounts.
This will free up names for new Dx-Tuner's member's
