"The only serious publication has been the Tropical Band Survey, which is published in early summer annually.
But, but ... the TBS of last year was partly obsolete ... The German TBL comes to help.
The German list is being actualized by using the best DX-Magazines worldwide.
In difference to TBS the TBL stays up-to-date at every time ... Recommendable"
