A letter I just got from a fellow R1a1 on YSEARCH from India follows. It expands on his comment at his entry there.

"...UAXFN is not my standard id, though. My real id is 4H8DK (67 markers). I
made UAXFN to be composed only of the slow markers, that is:

DYS 393, DYS 19, DYS 426, DYS 388, DYS 389-1, DYS 392, DYS 389-2, DYS
455, DYS 454, DYS 437, DYS 448, DYS 460, YCA IIa, YCA IIb, DYS 438.

The rate of mutation for these markers is relatively lower, hence they
tend to mutate and change values over a longer period of time compared
to other markers. I created this slow marker entry since I wasnt
getting any real close matches with all the 67 markers. "
