Hi Guy, 
 
<<<ÂÂ Thanks for the tip about Satoshi's postings on the Japanese DX Facebook 
group! That sounds quite interesting, but I'll have to rejoin Facebook 
first. A couple years ago I was feeling too overloaded by Facebook and put 
my membership on hold. I'll let you know if I get back on board!ÂÂ >>> 
 
That's completely understandable, Guy. At first I was also kind of skeptical that Facebook would become a forum for serious DX discussion, but it now seems to be one of the most popular and up-to-date methods to communicate with DXers around the world. A lot of UnID MP3 clips and real-time DXingÂalerts are passed around on Facebook everyÂday. Among several of the younger Japanese DXers, it is the primary method of hobby-related communication.

Thanks for the tip about Satoshi's postings on the Japanese DX Facebook 
group! That sounds quite interesting, but I'll have to rejoin Facebook 
first. A couple years ago I was feeling too overloaded by Facebook and put
