In this episode of The DX Mentor, our #DX gurus, will discuss:

The 2023 DX Year in Review document that was published by

W3UR and W1JR. This is an excellent source of reference material

and has been around for quite some time.

I hope you enjoy this discussion of how the material is collected,

edited, and then made available to hams.
