My DX Archive: October 1992

MAY I begin by saying a big 'Thank you!' to all who viewed my previous DX Archive post, which took us back to the Summer of 1992. One hundred views in one week is a great achievement. Thank you.

Continuing the visit to my DX Archive, I present a very productive month: October 1992. As with the previous post, here are the logs from that time, with QSL verifications and images. The broadcasts were received on a Hitachi TRK-5854 E.
