At the time beginnings go back to the year 1947 when the Marconi when the Union of Malaysia was formed, Brunei opted for Company in England installed a new wireless communication independence, and this was implemented on January 1, 1984. station in Brunei Town. Ten years later, the Marconi Company founded a small experimental radio broadcasting station in a small one storied building, with a single on air studio and a single mediumwave transmitter. This new and rather experimental station made its inaugural broadcast fifteen months later, in August 1958.
The 1959 edition of the World Radio TV Handbook listed Brunei for the first time and it showed two mediumwave stations on the air; 2 kW in Brunei Town on the north coast and 20 kW in Tutong in the central coast. Interestingly, both stations operated on the same channel, 1240 kHz.
However, in the following year, 1960, three mediumwave stations were on the air; Brunei Town with the original three year old 1.5 kW transmitter now on 970 kHz, the 20 kW transmitter at Tutong on the same 1240 kHz, and an additional station at 1.5 kW on 1110 kHz at Belait on the south coast. Over the next half century, several new mediumwave stations were constructed, transmitters changed locations and frequen- cies, and new higher powered units for local coverage were employed. In fact, at the height of its activity, Brunei was on the air from seven different mediumwave transmitters at five different locations. Two of these high powered units were installed in 1977 for national and regional international coverage. The 100 kW station (later 200 kW) on 675 kHz was installed at Serasa, and the 200 kW unit on 594 kHz was installed at Tutong. Both of these high powered units could be heard quite clearly in the neighbouring Malaysian and Indone- sian states on the island of Borneo and beyond. It is under- stood that both of these 200 kW units were shut down a year or two ago, though they could be re-activated if necessary.
For total local radio coverage throughout Brunei, several FM networks are now on the air. Their modernized studio building, located across from the Post Office in Banda Seri Begawan, was erected in the 1960s. It contains a suite of 18 studios for the production of the various language and program streams.

Lugano which counts 54,000 inhabitants. It has a wonderful Even though the IBB (e.g. VOA) is cutting down its number of panorama along the Lugano Lake with Monte Brè and Monte languages, most private U.S. broadcasters continue to use SW. San Salvatore as the nearby 600 meter higher landmarks. To strengthen economy, however, some have begun to sell
airtime to overseas broadcasters. The FCC has allowed the use of Powerline Communications (PLC), but so far only a few companies have begun to use it in the U.S.A.
The development of DRM has reached 768 broadcasting hours per day as of Sep 27 this year. Some broadcasters like HCJB, CBC, TWR and CVC have adopted DRM for tests, others may do so soon while others may wait some years until the DRM receivers are more common and widespread.
The 2007 NASB annual meeting was hosted by HCJB in Elkhart, IN and the talks can be heard and seen at the website: www.shortwave.org . The 2008 meeting will be hosted by TWR in Cary, North Carolina. The NASB is also participating in meetings with the FCC, HFCC and various DX-organisations.
Anker Petersen then talked about "DX-ing in the High Andes" as defined as above 2,500 metres, and showed pictures and sounds from his visits to Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile. The

The Conference was excellently organized by the EDXC Management since January this year, Mr. Tibor Szilagyi and Mr. Torre Ekblom.
The Conference was officially opened Friday Nov 02 at 1030 by a warm welcome by Deputy Mayor of Lugano, Dr. Venturi who by the way also is a shortwavelistener.
The Secretary General, Mr. Tibor Szilagyi then welcomed everybody to the 40th EDXC Conference and forwarded greetings and regrets from DX-ers and broadcasters who were unable to attend. Later on, former Secretary General Mr. Michael Murray, expressed some commemorative words about Bob Zanotti from “Switzerland in Sound”

The present management has been very active in trying to revive the DX-related activities of the EDXC. So far it has succeeded in getting published on the web an updated version of the EDXC Landlist this summer edited by Mr. Olle Alm at http://www.dswci.org/ , click EDXC Radio Countries.
Since the EDXC has no funds besides its daily administration and only a small one for EDXC Conferences, it is regarded sufficient just to run a website and no printed newsletters, as done previously, which were quite expensive.
Thus it is impossible, as suggested, that the EDXC is going to publish:
1. a 50-60 pages European DX-bulletin, 2. a long weekly DX-programme on an international radio station, 3. a translation service of articles between some of the many languages in Europe, or 4. a summary of main articles from the European DX-Clubs. The DSWCI Club dinner Friday evening

Gayle Van Horn.
As broadcaster, Mr. Jeff White stated that WRMI still is very interested in reception reports in order to be able to evaluate the reception quality.
The Secretary General highly appreciated that radio listeners from seven European countries, the U.S.A. and Japan, did participate in this conference in Lugano. But more activity from some southern countries would have been very useful!
There were no further items to be discussed, so Torre and Tibor closed the debate by stating that all comments on these issues are still welcome.
The former EDXC Secretary General, Mr. Risto Vähäkainu then invited all DX-ers to the next EDXC Conference to be held in connection with the 50th Anniversary of the Finnish DX Association, near the west coast city of Vaasa on 05-07 Anker receiving a glass bird for his long time work for the EDXC September 2008.

26 DSWCI Shortwave News – November/December 2007
Good news for Tropical Bands DX-ers Some more pictures from the EDXC Conference The World Radio communications Conference 2007 (WRC-07) concluded its work on Nov 16. Held in Geneva, and attended by some 2600 delegates from communications' administrations worldwide, WRC-07 rejected proposals for additional spectrum allocation for the SW broadcasting service in the 4-10 MHz bands.
The need for additional spectrum was intended to support HF broadcasting in North America. This is in stark contrast to the continuing decline in HF services from other regions - during 2007, several international broadcasters closed down or seri- ously reduced their services, recognizing that SW broadcasting is becoming a redundant obsolescent platform for delivering entertainment, information, culture or news. Many international broadcasters have moved into internet and satel- lite delivery modes, a trend which will intensify in 2008.
Domestic HF broadcasting is also experiencing a continuing decline, with widespread introduction of VHF-FM now seen as a cost-effective, efficient, and quality medium.... Some of the attendants Friday afternoon. (Padula, Nov 16). Jeff White from WRMI is at right. Even though the number of tropical bands stations is declining, this WRC-07 decision means that these popular DX-bands will not be crowded by international broadcasters. (Anker Petersen)
From our member Björn Bengts No. 3674E we have received the following interesting story about himself.
I can just urge other members to send me a description of you, just as Bengt did.
Deputy Mayor of Lugano, Dr. Venturi opened the conference
I'm a 65 years old farmer and live with my wife Riina on a little farm in Southern Finland. I have been interested in DX-ing since 1955 and have recently reactivated my listening.
