[HCDX] Proposed LF Conference
Carl-Henrik Walde, Secretary of the Swedish National Committee of URSI (Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale), writes: he venue will be on the west coast of Sweden, from around Thursday June 30 to Saturday July 2, 2005. There is a reason for these dates and the time period should be regarded as fixed, provided we get sufficient interest to launch such a seminar, symposium, or full-fledged conference. A few weeks ago, the Nordic Radio Society Foundation (NRS) had its 7th Nordic Shortwave Conference HF04 on the exotic island of Fårö in the Baltic. HF04 comprises VLF issues, albeit the majority is related to HF. 160 participants attended and I devoted my HF04 opening speech to radio station SAQ in Grimeton that had been added, on July 2 this year, to the Unesco World Heritage List: That HF04 opening night, I got congratulations for our world heritage success and people said 'now we must go to Grimeton' ...it came to my mind that we ought to organise an international longwave meeting in Varberg so as to combine present ELF, VLF and LF issues with a visit to nearby vintage SAQ. I got immediate support from industry, operators and various agencies. As a matter of fact, I was told that the most recent VLF meeting had been in York, UK, in 1992. Varberg is a 'Summer Town' and a perfect venue with all facilities within short walking distance (hotels, youth hostel, campus lecture halls, railway station, Denmark ferry terminal, parking lots, old castle, swimming, cafés etc etc. SAQ was inaugurated on July 2, 1925 by King Gustaf V. The new reception building will be inaugurated on July 2, 2005, celebrating 80 years of SAQ operation. We hope a (member of) royalty will start the alternator to transmit a royal message. This will be the perfect final activity of the '2005 Grimeton longwave meeting'. Thus, the dates are fixed and we have already made a preliminary reservation of hotel rooms. So, please mark the dates in your calender - now. We doubt that we can find sponsors to cover an anticipated full conference loss. Do we keep the ambition low (=seminar)? Will we get a lot participants (=conference)? We know that we have to keep the fee reasonably normal and we hope to offer lower rates for university people. Therefore, I kindly ask you to tell us if you would be interested in taking part in a '2005 Grimeton longwave meeting.' All answers are without obligations, but we need them in order to help us decide if we should go on and, if so, the ambition. A first invitation and call for papers could be sent out in November, 2004. All views are welcome. Please submit yours by email to the HF04 administrative secretary, Ms Winnie Svensson at AerotechTelub, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (fax +46 470 42042).

Re: [HCDX] Tropical SW Bands Virtually Empty
I agree with Aart and Guy. I'm still hearing interesting things from my Brooklyn, NY location. I do notice a difference though, and lament the trend. Allow me to fantasize for a moment: What if SWL's/DXer's acted in certain ways like hams, who marshall great amounts of resources to conduct DXpeditions on pieces of rock in the middle of various oceans, or go to tiny countries to operate. What if some folks in our listening community banded together, and selected certain inactive stations, and helped to rejuvenate them for the good of the local community, and incidentally also for the good of DXing? Many DX'ers have the technical knowhow, to put some of these stations back on the air, and others may have the expertise to help raise funds to provide parts and other kinds of support. Such an activity may not ultimately fill the bands with stations, but would impact the local community, and maybe make us feel less helpless/hopeless in the face of change in our hobby. On Nov 30, 2004, at 3:25 PM, Aart Rouw wrote: Thomas, I can not agree with you. Today there was also the report form the Bavarian DX camp from Michael Schnitzer. This shows there are still interesitng catches to be made on the TB bands. Of course, this is somewhat high performance DX, but I can assure you there is still a lot of interesting stations out there, also for a more average listener. Sure, there is less choice than 5-10 years ago. Especially the number of LA stations (except Brasil and Peru) has decreased dramatically. PNG is still very much active, even on 90m, though often on irregular schedules. Of course the future does not look very bright for TB DX, but it is too early to declare this dead.

What I've found is that compared to as recently as 2003 and 2002, 120 meters is empty, most of the African stations are now gone on 90 and 60 meters, same with Papua New Guinea and other Pacific Ocean stations. Even most of the Central/South American Stations are gone. Heck even all the Mexican stations on 49 meters during the day are gone also. I remember how back in the 1990's and 1980's the tropical bands were full of stations from all around the world, with every 3-5 kc full of co-channel stations with plenty of hets. I realize that many are gone due to transmitter failure, economic reasons and migration to FM BUT it's still a sad state of affairs. ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2005 is coming out.

[HCDX] Re: Tropical SW Bands Virtually Empty
I see no need to agree or disagree. No statement was made that SW DXing is dying or dead. I'm simply stating an observation from my QTH. I keep reception lists and compare one year to another and there has been a dramatic reduction in the number of stations period. You can do the same thing with Passport To World Band Radio. I've been DXing the tropical bands since 1965 and most of the stations are gone now. 73, Thomas F.
