Dear Hams and Visitors,
Due to a unexplicable damage of certain parts of the web site content, some information is no longer available. This issue was reported to the Webs' technical support, but no solution was received, till now.
It seems that was a failure which affected all the content with embeded HTML, FLASH or JAVA code. Because is unlikely to have this content restored, but very likely that this kind of issue is repeated, we planned to start a new site on a diferent host platform. This will be announced as soon we decide on the provider.
Until then, on the current web page, we will continue to publish only in the News section.
