The info is certainly from a web-based service, but my 
understanding was that it merely published what is on the packet 
service, but pre-sorted so that all of the LF spots, for instance, are 
on the same page.

However, on closer inspection I was wrong. The service is provided 
on the web only by members of OH9W / OH2AQ Radio Club. There 
is a page to input DX information.

The main URL is:  http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/

The info is updated every 5 minutes so it could provide a most 
useful indicator of who is looking for QSOs.
