Hallo dear VHF-friends,

in the past years the VHF-DX-Gruppe DL-West, together with the german
magazine "Funktelegramm" created the  M(ost) W(anted) S(quare)
list and WAE/DXCC list for the 144MHz area. Past years it was quite
nice to see, that a lot of dx-expeditionaers have checked these list,
before they startet their expedition and went to quite rare
countries and locators than. (lets remember the activity from
ZA,OH0,3V... as searched WAEs/DXCCs, or Squares like IN69, IO41,42
JM54,88,89 KO30,75 KP27,35,44 and many many more...).

Also this year our VHF-DX-Group DL-West will run these collection of
the (M)ost (W)anted (S)quares again.

A new sepearte list for the most wanted WAEs/DXCCs countries
will be collected by Chris, PA2CHR, to have a bit more efficiency
in sorting out!

Please check the following rules and send your infos as soon as
possible. We will collect the datas from 16 december 2000 to mid
february 2001. Latest at 17-02-2001 your details have to be here!
>From end of march 2001, we will be able to spread the results on
Funktelegramm, Funkamateur, CQDL, PR and Internet pages, that
everybody have a good chance to find a recommend square or country
to activate in summertime.


The (M)ost (W)anted (S)quares inquiry 2001:

Everybody can once send in as many most wanted squares as he want.
Of course it will be necessary that the wanted squares have to be
in a reachable area from the QTH of the sender. (eg. tropo stations
send in max. 1000km area - ms stations up to 2200km ...) 
Also "wet" squares are possible to activate, as we have seen from
several good expeditions in the past years! So if you need them it
can be nice to give an initial about these onces also - of course 
they shall be within your tropo range...

Here an example for the input file:

DL8EBW search SQRs:  IO79, 96, 98 ; IP04, 13, 14 ; KO 47, 57  a.s.o.

Inbetween a lot of people did recognize an easy way to get their own
most wanted list.  EA6VQ, Gabriel, built up an automatic search
routine in his logbook programm for our MWS lists! You are able to
get the latest VHF-logbook version at the internet homepage:
http://www.qsl.net/ea6vq/vqlog.html

Please send your MWS result to:

The results of both inquries (MWS and MWC) will be published in

in Internet from the end of march 2001.

NEW: After the inquiry we are able to give (on request) all infos
which station will need which square to anybody who plans an
expedition!!!

Thanks very much to all for the input in advance.
