The DOMESTIC BROADCASTING SURVEY 10 (DBS-10), April 2008
edited by DSWCI Chairman, Anker Petersen
ISSN 1399-8218

The 51 years old DSWCI which now counts experienced DX-ers in 33 countries all over the world as members, has issued the 10th Edition of its annual Domestic Broadcasting Survey. This survey is divided into four parts:

Part 1: The 36th edition of the Tropical Bands Survey covering all ACTIVE broadcasting stations on 2300 - 5700 kHz.

Part 2: Domestic stations on international shortwave bands above 5700 kHz broadcasting to a domestic audience. 

Part 3: All ACTIVE Clandestine shortwave stations are listed with schedules and identifications.   

Part 4: Deleted frequencies between 2 and 30 MHz which have not been reported heard during the past five years, but may reappear.

This new Survey is based upon many official sources and DX-bulletins. A08 schedules are included when available. In order to make the DBS reliable, our own monitors around the world have checked throughout the period May 2007 - April 2008, if each of the 1050 station frequencies is on the air. ACTIVE stations are marked with an A (”Regular”), B (”Irregular”) or C (”Sporadic”) in the list. D means ”Likely inactive”.

A unique feature is the right column called ”Last log”. It shows the last month and year before DBS deadline on April 15, 2008 when the particular station was reported logged by a DX-er somewhere in the world.This is another way of indicating the current audibility of the station. To make this DBS up-to-date and user-friendly, most frequencies which have not been heard during the past year have been deleted and moved to Part 4.  

Other useful features for easy identification (ID) are the parallel frequencies and reference to Station ID sentenses.
