A shortwave coordination conference organised by the Asian-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) has agreed to publish a shortwave journal to help promote shortwave broadcasting. The five-day ABU-HFC Shortwave Coordination Conference in Kuala Lumpur agreed that the journal should be published once a year.
Frequency managers at the conference examined more than 6,900 daily transmissions to look at ways of minimising interference. Two workshops were conducted to help frequency managers to detect shortwave radio interference more effectively, with improved software tools and methods.
A new steering committee was appointed for a two-year term during the conference. It includes two new members, SLBC-Sri Lanka and RTND-Mongolia.
