New Survey Available
The Domestic Broadcasting Survey 17 (DBS-17), April 2015
edited by DSWCI Chairman, Anker Petersen. ISSN 1399-8218
The 58 years old DSWCI which counts experienced DX-ers in 34 countries all over the world as members, has just issued the 17th Edition of its annual Domestic Broadcasting Survey. This survey is divided into three parts:
Part 1: The 43rd edition of the Tropical Bands Survey covering all ACTIVE broadcasting stations on 2300 - 5700 kHz, including clandestines.
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. A15 schedules are included when available. In order to make the DBS reliable, our own monitors around the world have checked throughout the period April 2014 – March 2015, if each of the 530 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, 2015 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-17 are shown on the next page. Reviews can be found on www.dswci.org
