PRESS RELEASE FROM
THE DANISH SHORTWAVE CLUB
INTERNATIONAL (DSWCI)
NEW SURVEY AVAILABLE at reduced price:
The DOMESTIC BROADCASTING SURVEY 16 (DBS-16), April 2014

by DSWCI Chairman, Anker Petersen.

The 57 years old DSWCI which counts experienced DX-ers
in 32 countries all over the world as members, has just issued the 16th Edition of its annual Domestic
Broadcasting Survey. This survey is divided into three parts:
Part 1: The
42nd edition of the Tropical
Bands Survey covering all ACTIVE
broadcasting stations on 2300 -
5700 kHz, including clandestine stations.
Part 2:
Domestic stations on international shortwave bands above 5700 kHz broadcasting
to a domestic audience.
Part 3:
Deleted frequencies between 2 and 30 MHz which have not been reported heard
during the past five years, but may reappear.
This new
Survey is based upon monitoring by our members, many official sources and
DX-bulletins. A14 schedules are included when
available. But about 70 domestic shortwave stations frequencies have left the
bands, so this DBS-16 is thinner. Therefore the DSWCI has decided to reduce the
prices. In order to make the DBS reliable, our own monitors around the
world have checked throughout the period April 2013 – March 2014, if each of
the 570 station frequencies is on the air.
ACTIVE stations are marked with an A (”Regular”), B
(”Irregular”) or C (”Sporadic”) in the list.
D
means ”Likely inactive”.
A unique feature is the right column called ”Last log”.
It shows the last month and year before DBS deadline on March 31, 2014 when the particular station was reported
logged by a DX-er somewhere in the world. This is another way of indicating the
current audibility of the station. To avoid inactive stations in this DBS,
most frequencies which have not been heard during the
past year, have been deleted and are moved to Part 3. No
other frequency list has this feature!
Other useful features for easy identification (ID) are
the parallel frequencies and reference to Station ID slogans.
Three
sample extracts from the DBS-16 are shown on the next page. Reviews can be
found on www.dswci.org
All
buyers of DBS-16 will get a username and password to the monthly updates on the
tropical bands published as "Tropical
Bands Monitor" on our website. The similar, historical data from 2005,
