Our long time member Jacques Augustin from France, we got a postcard some times ago telling us that he celebrates his 40th anniversary as a member of our club, which has always satisfied me, as he writes. Certainly well done, Jacques!

Broadcasting over Powerlines (BPL) The (USA) FCC has been forced to revisit regulations and standards governing widespread introduction of this technology, following strong complaints from the ARRL on behalf of American Radio Amateurs. A court order has now been issued, requiring the FCC to review its previous position. The central issue on which the FCC is seeking comment concerns the power levels that should be permitted for Access BPL systems connected to electricity distribution lines, such that interference with other services is within specified bounds. Further details, and the ARRL/FCC documentation, may be found at www.amateurradio.com.au/node/728 , www.wia.org.au/newsevents/news/2009/20090727-1/index.php and http://www.amateurradio.com.au/node/730 .

Here in Australia, some power companies have already leased their transmission infractures to Internet providers, but the take-up rate and success has been poor. Around Melhourne's outer east and south, where this technology has been installed on a "trial basis", the effect of this wideband interference is horrendous, as checked on my car radio. Whilst driving past these areas, which includes Hastings and Mt Evelyn, reception of normally strong local MF broadcasters is almost totally wiped out by this hash, which is broadband, extending from 1 Khz to infinity!

Dxpedition to Mandarmani without electricity. During Jan 2009 I had an oppurtunity to join some of the veteran dxers from Kolkata for a Dxpedition to a beach resort at Mandarmani, some 180 kms away from Kolkata, India. These veterans from the erstwhile IDXCI (Indian DX Club) had an experience of eleven dxpeditions earlier to various locations in Eastern India. This was my first experience to join a dxpedition and it was truly amazing ! Mandarmani DXpedition 2009 webpage can be accessed here : http://mandarmanidxped.blogspot.com/ . (Gupta)

Test of new Uniwave DRM receiver I could test the long time waited new Uniwave DRM receiver that will be on the market in Autumn. You can read a post on the blog http://radiodxinfo.blogspot.com/ . (Bernardini). A few lines are in English, but most of the text is in Italian. (Ed)

Next deadline will be October 29th 2009 – we look forward to have your contributions

Saturday 29 August At 0900, Counsellor Rebecca Moynihan, representing the Lord Mayor of Dublin welcomed us to the beautiful city.

Then the Conference was officially opened by Tibor Szilagyi and Edward Dunne, the Irish DX Club. Tibor reported: “ The number of members of the EDXC is showing a growing tendency. Today we have 12 European DX Clubs as Regular Members --- 2 Clubs more than 1 year ago.

On the Individual Member side, we have noted a significant increase: We have now 4 Members: 2 from Sweden, 1 from Finland and 1 from Italy. As Observer Members we count -- as we did last year as well --- 4 Observer Members: 2 from Germany, 1 from the U. K. ( = The British DX Club ) and 1 from the U.S.A. : National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters The first lecture was about “Shortwave Disaster Radio and (NASB). Studio-in-a Suitcase”, held by Mike Adams. He is engineer at

Next was Simon Maher, General Manager of the Rock station Phantom Radio, in Dublin. It is broadcasting on 576 kHz MW and analogue FM. But it is also going to broadcast on DAB and digital cable TV. He sees no future for DRM. In Dublin there are 3-4 pirates on FM in the weekends and a few SW pirates.

Then Jonathan Murphy gave a well-documented lecture about “Broadcasting to the World: The Role of the Media in the Baltic States during their struggle for independence from the USSR”. He described the independence attempts in 1991 in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia as they were broadcast by the radio. The Soviet forces in January occupied key installations, but in August the left again and the three countries declared their independence. At the same time Boris Jeltzin had taken over from President Mikhail Gorbachev with a coup. We ended up in the Radio Vintage Museum “Ye Olde Hurdy- Gurdy Museum” in the very green Howth and saw its many old receivers. Weather varied with both sunshine and rain at times. The Irish say: “There will be rain between the showers!”

The delicious Banquet Dinner was held under cover at the Hotel followed by a raffle with many DX-related prizes.

Next A.J. gave an update on the status of Radio Free Asia whose broadcasts in Korean, Tibetan, Mandarin, Uighur and Vietnamese are still jammed. He introduced the new QSL for September-October and thanked for the many reception reports to the website www.techweb.rfa.org . On the QSL’s 6 IBB sites are identified, but others cannot be that for political reasons. (From left DSWCI-0621 Claes-W. Englund and wife Dorrit, DSWCI-1259 Bengt Dalhammar and wife Kerstin)

Tibor Szilagyi and Edward Dunne then closed the successful EDXC Conference which had many very interesting lectures and not at least was a social event where we met old and new friends. Thank you to Tibor and Edward for this!

After that our longtime DSWCI-member-2883 Patrick Cody grasped Kaj, Else and myself into a taxi, then a train and his own car to visit western Ireland and his wonderful house with a garden that is at a quality level of the Botanical Gardens in Copenhagen !

Back in the Conference room, Jukka Kotovirta gave a lively talk about the magic FM DX-hobby. With a good antenna, e.g. a 15 element Yagi, you can get good results even in noisy cities. The year 2009 has had very poor reception conditions, maybe because of the poor stock exchanges…

Then Arto Mujunen, leader of the IBB monitoring in Finland, stated that shortwave is still needed, because crises and disasters may happen. Furthermore, in some remote areas, e.g. in Russia, shortwave is the only medium available.
