JAPANESE QSL COLLECTION ON WEB

My QSL collection from 1956 is now on the web. At

<http://picasaweb.google.com/jswc5160?showall=true#100>

you can see it. This page was exhibited by efforts of Mr. Koichiro Itou
(member of Japan SW Club), Iwate prefecture. I am very happy that many old
and young listeners over the world visit this page. By the way, this page is
now on the way. The new QSL will be added.

INTERNATIONAL. TRENDS IN TROPICAL BANDS BROADCASTING 2010

A year ago I did forecast, that there will not be many Domestic broadcasting
stations left on the Tropical Bands (120, 90 and 60 mb) in year 2020 and
this trend continues.

As editor of the Domestic Broadcasting Survey (DBS) my task is, throughout
the year until the next publication, to check the bands myself and follow
the loggings from our members and other DX-ers around the world. For each
frequency on the list, a note is taken of the months when it has been heard.
If a station has not been heard by any DX-er during the past 12 months, it
is deleted. By this measure, the DBS contains only the active domestic
broadcasting stations. With this systematic registration of broadcasting
stations on the Tropical Bands each year, it is possible to make some
statistics, on how many frequencies were active in each region of the world
and compare these numbers. International broadcasters, Clandestine and
Pirate stations are not included in these statistics.

You can read about the new DBS-12 at
http://www.dswci.org/news/2010/1004/dbs-12.pdf

According to DBS-12, published in April 2010 by the DSWCI, 223 frequencies
were heard in the frequency range of 2.200 to 5.800 kHz by DX-ers around the
world during the past year. That are 12 frequencies less than the previous
year.

Total                      1,106   819    627   223

Countries like Brazil, China, India, Peru, Papua New Guinea and Bolivia are
still dominating the Tropical Bands. But during the past year Tropical
stations have disappeared, especially in Central Africa, Latin America and
Indonesia. The reason is that other media got higher priority than keeping
an elderly Shortwave (SW) transmitter alive.
