Two Important Publications from Teak Publishing

New Summer 2015 International Shortwave Broadcast Guide

            Shortwave radio is your window to the world, states the well known radio writer Gayle Van Horn.  Throughout the world, shortwave remains the most readily available and affordable means of communication and information.  It lets you listen to voices from around the world.  You'll also learn about the lives and concerns of people from all walks of life, from soldiers, to farmers, to retired scholars.  Shortwave radio provides nearly instantaneous coverage of news and events from all across our globe.

            Shortwave listening, or SWLing, is the hobby of listening to shortwave radio broadcasts located on frequencies between 1700 kHz and 30 MHz, also known as HF or the High Frequency bands.  You can easily listen to shortwave broadcast stations from countries all around the world; all you need is a shortwave receiver.  When and what to listen for is covered comprehensively in the pages of a new edition of the International Shortwave Broadcast Guide.

            The International Shortwave Broadcast Guide (Summer 2015 edition), by Amazon bestselling author Gayle Van Horn, W4GVH, is an important information resource you need to tap into the worldwide shortwave broadcast radio spectrum.  It is a 24-hour station/frequency guide to almost all of the known stations currently broadcasting on shortwave radio at the time of publication.

            We might add that this unique shortwave resource offers an hour by hour schedule that includes all language services, frequencies and world target areas for each broadcast station.  In addition, there are new chapters that cover basic shortwave radio listening and Who’s Who in the Shortwave Radio Spectrum.   Also extensive work has been done to improve the readability of this edition on the various Kindle platforms.

            The International Shortwave Broadcast Guide (Summer 2015 edition) is now available for purchase worldwide from Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X8BIF0K.  The price for this latest edition is still the amazingly low US $4.99.   This book is being released internationally from all Amazon websites.

            This new e-publication edition is an expanded version of the English shortwave broadcast guide formerly printed in the pages of Monitoring Times magazine for over 20 years. This one of a kind e-book is now being published twice a year to correspond with station seasonal time and frequency changes.  Frequency updates between editions are posted on the Shortwave Central blog at: http://mt- shortwave.blogspot.com/.

            The International Shortwave Broadcast Guide will have wide appeal to a large array of shortwave radio hobbyists, amateur radio operators, educators, foreign language students, news agencies, news buffs and many more who are interested in listening to a global view regarding news and events as they happen.

QSLing the World - A How-to Guide
Another book written by Gayle Van Horn that is available electronically tells the story “QSLing the World”.  Gayle was previously a Monitoring Times columnist and the shortwave frequency manager for the magazine.  Her book is a comprehensive resource and reference ebook for any radio hobbyist who is interested in acquiring a verification of reception from almost any type of radio station, whether it is broadcast, utility, amateur, satellite, or clandestine.

            While some radio hobbyists are program listeners who listen simply for program content, there is a large segment of listeners in the hobby who like to collect written proof that they have indeed monitored the stations they have received or talked to.  They do this by sending a report of reception in the hope that the station staff will return a card or letter, a QSL, verifying the radio reception.   Along with QSLs, some radio hobbyists also collect station memorabilia that may include such items as frisbees, bumper stickers, pennants, decals, T-shirts, or anything associated with the station logo, slogan or call sign.

            This new 140 plus page eBook, “QSLing the World”, draws from Gayle's 30 plus years of experience in the radio hobby. This includes best general practices in logging, reporting, and mailing a station reception report.  Gayle also addresses an often-neglected question: What do you do with your QSL cards and letters after they start to accumulate?

            This second edition of “QSLing the World” is now in Kindle eBook format; it is the most comprehensive compilation of trends and tips on the art of QSLing ever published for the radio listening hobbyist.  It is an important reference guide in any radio shack for those who want to QSL the stations they are hearing on their radios.

Publication Review: International Shortwave Broadcast Guide - 09:43

            A most remarkable shortwave book at a most remarkable price is the Winter 2014 - 2015 edition of the comprehensive volume, International Shortwave Broadcast Guide by Gayle van Horn at Teak Publishing in Brasstown, North Carolina.  This twice-annual volume, now the third in this series, contains almost 500 pages of valuable and interesting information about shortwave broadcasting.

            Gayle van Horn asks the question: So why should you listen to shortwave radio?  Quite simply, she answers, because shortwave radio is your window to the world.  Throughout the world, shortwave remains the most readily available and affordable means of mass communication and information.  It lets you listen to voices from around the world.  Shortwave radio provides nearly instantaneous coverage of news and events from around the Earth.

            You can easily listen to shortwave broadcast stations located in countries all around our globe, specially if you know when to listen!   That’s where this new edition of the International Shortwave Broadcast Guide is particularly useful.

            The International Shortwave Broadcast Guide (Winter 2014-2015 edition) is a unique information resource that provides a 24-hour station/frequency guide to all of the known stations currently broadcasting on shortwave radio at the time of publication.  This tabulated information offers an hour-by-hour schedule that includes all language services, frequencies and world target areas for each broadcast station.

            This new e-publication edition is an expanded version of the English shortwave broadcast guide formerly printed in the pages of Monitoring Times magazine for over 20 years.  This one of a kind e-book is now published twice a year to correspond with station seasonal time and frequency changes.

            It is a splendid radio adventure to peruse each page in the current edition of the International Shortwave Broadcast Guide.  For example, the first chapter provides us with interesting information, all about shortwave radio.  These entries are followed by hints on accessing the international and tropical shortwave bands, together with suggestions regarding the usage and availability of suitable shortwave radio receivers.

            The comprehensive and uniquely complete listening guide is set out hour by hour in UTC (international radio) timings, with the shortwave stations listed in alphabetic order of country.  If you want to listen to the world, here is your opportunity; all of the nearly 400 pages of tabulated listings are sprinkled here and there with a reproduction in color of an exotic QSL card from a shortwave station somewhere on planet Earth.

            Towards the end of the current edition of the International Shortwave Broadcast Guide you will find a listing of all current DX programs on the air shortwave, including Wavescan with all of its many timings.  The final section of this fascinating eBook tells us about the author Gayle van Horn and her

illustrious radio backgrounds, together with the availability of her many other radio books, each in electronic form.

            The International Shortwave Broadcast Guide (Winter 2014-2015 edition) is now available for purchase worldwide from Amazon.com at www. amazon. com.  The price for this latest edition is just a little under US$5.  Remarkable!  And remember too, that frequency updates between editions are posted on her Shortwave Central blog at: http://mt-shortwave.blogspot.com/.

            Now, if any of you, our listeners, do not have access to the internet, we would suggest that you contact a friend who is internet savvy, and ask him to download this volume, at such a low price, on your behalf.

            We can confidently recommend to you the new and current International Shortwave Broadcast Guide (Winter 2014-2015 edition).  It will be of real value to you in your listening to the international and tropical shortwave broadcasting bands.

            We might also add, that this valuable compendium stands just as high in the international radio world as the annual publication, World Radio TV Handbook, and as the four volume set on shortwave broadcasting and listening by Jerome Berg. 

            Is short-wave broadcasting dead?  No, not so, and far from it.  Just ask those who attend the twice yearly HFCC Planning meetings.  And those who endeavor to locate an empty spot on the shortwave dial to insert a desired broadcast program.  And those who plan and produce DX programs.  And those who respond to listener reception reports and issue QSL cards.    

            Thank you Gayle van Horn, for your splendid service to the international shortwave world!

QSL Report: January 2015

QSL Report - January 2015

A.J. Janitschek sends in information that Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces the release of our Year of the Ram QSL card. The Year of the Ram begins on February 19, 2015, and ends on February 7, 2016. It is also called the Year of the Goat, or Year of the Sheep. Those born in the Year of the Ram are said to be passive, artistic, sensitive, kind, mild-mannered, and sympathetic. Rams enjoy being part of a group but avoid being the center of attention.

The Chinese New Year is celebrated in many countries and by many cultures in many ways. For example, parades featuring large and vibrantly colored papier-mâché dragons and parties are quite common. Many families set out a tray to provide guests with an assortment of dried fruits and candies for a sweet start to the new year. Drums are also played, sometimes with red drumsticks, to celebrate the season as a time of renewed hope. No New Year celebration would be complete without firecrackers to ward off evil spirits. Red envelopes (hong bao) with money inside are handed out to children and loved ones too.

This is RFA’s 56th QSL design and is used to confirm all valid RFA reception reports from January-April 2015.

RFA encourages listeners to submit reception reports. Reception reports are valuable to RFA as they help us evaluate the signal strength and quality of our transmissions. RFA confirms all accurate reception reports by mailing a QSL card to the listener. RFA welcomes all reception report submissions at http://techweb.rfa.org (follow the QSL REPORTS link) not only from DX’ers, but also from its general listening audience.

Reception reports are also accepted by email at qsl@rfa.org and by mail to:

Russia, Voice of Russia
The radio situation in the world so far has been, that more and more international stations are closing down. In December last year the structures of the Voice of Russia and R Rossii were dissolved and very few broadcasts continued on SW on DRM under a new structure. Nearly all employees were dismissed and Russia began to dismantel its many SW transmitters. But surprisingly Russia just has reported to the HFCC (High Frequency Co-ordination Conference) that from October 01, 2014, the Voice of Russia again will be broadcasting in 14 languages on SW also in AM, and R Rossii will be reestablished. Due to the conflict with Ukraine with Russian troops supporting the Pro-Russians in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea, they obviously do not think their domestic information is heard in the West. Thus they decided to reactivate their Foreign Service in full scale.

United States, R Free Asia
This current Radio Free Asia summer schedule, supersedes all other RFA schedules that have recently been published in hobby newsletters, email news groups and blogs, as part of the IBB/BBG frequency adjustments from July 1, 2014. This version, directly from the station’s frequency manager, is effective July 12. It does not separate the various language services, by broadcast days, or “frequency hopping.” Instead, it reflects what Radio Free Asia is currently broadcasting at what time and frequency.  Any adjustments to this schedule will be posted as those occur.
