May is almost here, and time for a preview for the worldwide blog readers, what I will covering on the shortwave scene in the May issue of Monitoring Times.

The May column of QSL Report features a reminder of amateur radio's popular Logbook of the World. It remains the largest repository of amateur radio log records, and the numbers are climbing. You too can be a part of this alternative to QSLing via amateur radio from ARRL.

May's QSL's represent contributors verifying stations from five amateur radio stations, Austria, FM and four medium wave stations. Hungary, Iceland, Japan, followed by that elusive QSL catch Voice of Korea in Pyongyang, North Korea. VOK is not verified often and the results may surprise you. Radio Romania, a special St. Helena Day verification via Danish SW Club, one utility QSL and Venezuela's Radio Amazonia.
