The "La Compil’ DX" newsletter was first published in January 2010.
In 2021, I decided to make it more engaging and enjoyable to read
by better organizing the sections, calendar, and announcements,
and by adding supplementary information—such as short reports and photos—at the end
to further enrich the material available to subscribers.
Subscribing to receive the weekly "La Compil’ DX" newsletter electronically
