Between the DX Mentor Facebook page, the weekly DX column in the Ohio Section Journal, the DX section of This Week in Amateur Radio podcast, and the This Week in DX weekly YouTube episodes, I have received quite a few emailsover the past months about a couple of topics. One of those topics is the DXCC program.

I would like to pass along a fewcomments that we have received regarding some past episodes.

I received this about the Amelia Earhart episode, “Fantastic episode, almost journalistic! Really enjoy these and it's not only now but in the future. Thank you again.”

Regarding the interview with VA3MW, a listener commented “Loved the show, thank you. Ps. You should do a side show on old computer, loved hearing about the NORAD computer!!!”

Concerning last weeks edition about QSLing, K6GAB sent me a comment saying “Thanks for this, very interesting!”

Finally, I received this about the QRZ.cominterview with KF8KI “A fascinating insight into QRZ and Steve's other interests! Thank you all”

As you can tell, I do read the comments and apply them where I can. Please keep your thoughts and suggestions coming!
