ZK1XXP LOGS  ---> Don  Greenbaum, N1DG  has received  the  last logs  of  the
expedition  and  posted  them  to the web site (http://www.aurumtel.com/cook.
html). "The file now contains over 12,000 QSOs", Don reports. "I was told  on
the air towards the end of the DXpedition that they had logged over 14,000. I
can only assume  that somewhere some  other QSOs were  lost in  transmission.
After the  team  returns we  will  repost the  logs  after we  reconcile  the
numbers."
