SWB Archive is now scanned including all issues from no. 1 - 1406 Thanks to our long time member John Ekwall the SWB archive is now complete from the first issue, no. 1 It all started in 1961 and here is the background story copied from copied from the article when SWB turned 40 years old and written by Börge Eriksson. (Google translation from Swedish). Background During the latter part of the 1950s, interest in the DX hobby in our country "exploded" and in almost every parish (called municipality today) DX clubs grew up. Many of these clubs also had their own DX magazine, some of which were really large. The technical journals "Teknikens Värld" and "Teknik för Alla" had thousands of members registered in their DX clubs. The year was 1961 Kjell Ekholm and MKVK (Malmö Kortvågsklubb) had invited the country's DX-ers to a DX meeting in Malmö. Several active DX-ers responded to the invitation and the meeting became a hit. At this meeting, the problem of sharing quick log information between the active DXs was discussed. The club magazines were published monthly in most cases and the time between the time a station was logged to the stop date and publication was therefore often long. So the news was spread slowly between listeners. Therefore, it was with great interest that the idea for faster and better information was discussed, which Jan Pettersson (from 1965, Jan Prevéus), threw forward at this meeting - a log bulletin for the most active to be published every week. We were some who took Jan's ideas to heart and since it was summer and LA season, it was probably mostly the LA-interested people who took the idea. Said and done. A few weeks later came the first issue. A simple edition in impact copy so the print was not the best. No membership fee was charged, but every week they sent their tips and QSL information to Jan and then attached a stamped reply envelope. Closing dates on Saturday and on Monday the bulletin was in their hands. The bulletin had no name, but among us who were part of the gang, it was simply called "JP's bulle". The number of members grew steadily and both African and Asian DX members joined, but those interested in LA were in the majority because it was the LA DX members JP had first turned to. The model for SWB was born. An idea had been put into practice. / Börge Eriksson - The old archive for issue 1 - 1406 can be found here: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/swb/archive-old.htm John, thanks a lot for taking your time to scan all those issues. Very interesting to look at the first issues and see all the stat- ions logged at the Tropical bands. Those were the days ... /TN * Radio service for overseas marks 80 years. ---------------------------------------- A ceremony has been held to mark 80 years since the start of radio service at Japan's only station broadcasting programs overseas on shortwave bands. The KDDI Yamata Transmitting Station in Koga City in Ibaraki Prefecture, north of Tokyo, is used by NHK World Radio Japan. About 50 officials from NHK, KDDI and other entities took part in the ceremony on Wednesday. The chief of the communications ministry's Kanto Bureau of Telecommunications, Tsubaki Yasufumi, said remotely at the event that he honors the station's 80 years of stable operations. He also said he hopes for continued efforts so that programs from Japan can be broadcast overseas. Terada Kenji of the NHK Engineering Administration Department said shortwave broadcasting served as a lifeline on many occasions such as the 2014 coup in Thailand. He said he wants to express gratitude to all the people involved in shortwave broadcasting. After the ceremony, the head of the station, Saito Toshimitsu, said it plays an important role in providing information from Japan. He added that he will keep working hard so that the station will be passed down to younger generations. https://swling.com/blog/2021/05/nhk-world-celebrates-80-years-of-radio-service/ https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20210519_28/ (https://vk.com/dxing) 73!
