The Eastern Iowa DX Bulletin is published every Friday. It is a compilation of currently active DX operations (or those that will become active within the current week) from recent issues of DX bulletins from the US, Germany and Italy and other sources. The articles are ordered by callsign prefix with dates of operation highlighted in red. Hot links for QSL and other information are provided if available. Articles remain in The Bulletin while active. Also included is a Contest Calendar and a Propagation section, which is updated daily.
