Dear friends, Regretfully, we have needed to take the decision to cancel the BDXC Conference scheduled for May in Bucharest. With just a few weeks to go, there were not enough delegates signed up to make it viable to hold a conference. This is, perhaps, understandable with people concerned about travel due to Covid-19, plus the war in neighbouring Ukraine. We will arrange another Zoom meeting for EDXC members and the wider DX community, with speakers, in a few months time. In the meantime, some good news in that EDXC co-founder Anker Petersen has published the latest Trends in tropical bands broadcasting and Domestic Broadcasting Survey. Anker writes: “Since the Danish Short Wave Club International published the first annual Tropical Bands Survey in 1973, I have registered which stations are active, based upon loggings from our members and other DXers around the world. Here is an updated status outside Europe and North America, where Clandestine and Pirate stations are not included.” Both of the documents are available at the DSWCI website, to study and enjoy. Click on the two blue boxes on the left side of the website for the current versions, and also to look back over previous versions.  http://www.dswci.org   Best wishes, Chrissy Brand and Christian Ghibaudo, EDXC https://edxcnews.wordpress.com
