Australian Shortwave Guide - Edition 25 - A10 Season
AUSTRALIAN SHORTWAVE GUIDE - EDITION 25 - A10 EDITION
* available mid-April 2010
* available as an Emailed PDF document
* sponsored by the Australian Electronic DX Press Radio Monitoring Association
The Australian Shortwave Guide, Edition 25, is a no-frills reference, covering the seven-month international shortwave transmission period commencing March 28, 2010, and concluding on October 31, 2010, known as the “A10 International Transmission Season”
With several hundred entries, it provides comprehensive information of definitive shortwave broadcasting schedules for transmissions intended for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, for broadcasts in all languages.
Broadcasts in English for the Far East are also included.
The data is in three PDF documents:
- by order of studio country
- by starting time
- by order of frequency
Each entry shows broadcasting organization, frequency, starting time, finishing time, language, target area, transmitter site, transmitter country, studio country, and days of operation.
The ASWG is compiled from an extensive worldwide network of broadcasters, frequency planners, engineering consultants, professional monitors, and members of the Electronic DX Press Radio Monitoring Association. Information is also included from the detailed research by the author, himself a communications engineer and journalist, with over 47 years experience at both the professional and hobby level.
The ASWG has been around for a long time and was first published in 1982 as a supplement to an early Australian commercial electronics magazine. When that magazine ceased operations in 1992, BTA became an independent publication, ultimately transforming itself into the "Australasian Shortwave Guide", and subsequently became "Shortwave Broadcasts to Australia and Oceania", then the "The Australian Shortwave Guide".
It is now published twice a year.
Proceeds from sales assist with costs of research, marketing, and distribution.

45 YEARS OF PRODUCING "DX" BROADCASTS!
March 2009 represents my completion of 45 years of continuous involvement with writing, hosting, and broadcasting "DX" programs over domestic and international stations. So it now seems that I am in my 46th year of doing this sort of work!
So, here is my little story which may be of interest to all readers...!
My first involvement was in March 1964, when I started writing and taping the weekly 15 minute DX program, known as "The World at Your Fingertips", heard over two Victorian medium-wave stations - 3UL in Warragul, and 3SR in Shepparton. This was under the sponsorship of the Victorian Branch of the New Zealand DX Radio Association, of which I was a member. Sadly, the NZDXRA closed down in 2007.
In those days, there was no Australian national radio monitoring organisation - there had been such a club in the late 1930s, but it ceased in 1946. WAYF had in fact been on the air for a year or so previously, broadcast only over 3SR Shepparton, by Bruce Eastwood. On Bruce's retirement from the field, he invited me to take over, which I did, and I expanded its coverage by syndicating it over 3UL Warragul. In 1965, 3SR discontinued this, and other programming, due to a major change of focus, leaving us only with 3UL, which ran the show on Saturday mornings with a rather limited listenership. In 1966, I moved the show to 3NE Wangaratta, for a Sunday night release, which hosted our program continuously until 1976, when it was decided jointly that the program was no longer serving any useful purpose, either for the station or the hobby, and it was terminated.
From 1967 until 1976, the programs were written and remotely taped on alternate weeks by my South Australian colleague, the late Robert Chester, and myself.
My work in international radio DX programs began in 1965, when I commenced script writing for the weekly "Australian DXers Calling" over Radio Australia. The program first went on the air on July 9, 1946, and was written and presented by Graham Hutchins, Melbourne, who had been involved with the management of a local DX Club. I had been a keen and avid listener to the program since around 1953 as schoolboy, and I used to copy the details of the programs into a log-book.
That log-book is sitting in front of me as I write this, some 53 years later, and the program of February 13, 1955 reported that Radio France Asie, in Saigon, was on the air on 15430 0800-0815 and on 9775 at 1400 to Europe. The program also reported that RRI had installed a new 20 kW transmitter on 9550 (still there at Makassar!), and that Radio Australia would be carrying live commentary of the 5th Cricket Test between visiting England and Australia. Target areas were announced as including the West Indies, Africa, Korea, Japan, and the British Isles. As it turned out, I actually went to one day of that famous Test, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground!
The untimely passing of Graham in 1965 now required RA personnel to personally prepare and read the weekly scripts. I had been a regular contributor to the program since 1963, and I was surprised when RA invited me to assume script writing responsibility in 1965. I continued to write the scripts each week until 1982, which were read by senior RA announcers. I was not permitted to include any information about stations in Communist-bloc countries, such as Radio Peking, Radio Moscow, Radio Tirana, etc! I was also instructed to give as much information as possible about the Voice of Free China broadcasts. Those directions emanated from sources extremely high up in the Australian Government. I complied!!!
In 1972, I was appointed the script manager, where I introduced and trained other Australian DX hobbyists to these duties, with all of us sharing the roster coordination and writing tasks. The shared arrangements continued until 1976, when the program was discontinued as part of a major and extraordinary change in RA policy.
However, RA's Japanese department had also been using the scripts for many years, translating them into its weekly "DX Time" programs, and we continued to prepare the scripts for the Japanese service until it itself was closed down in 1989.
Estimates as to the number of regular listeners to "DX Time" were put at many millions. That was in the days of the 1970s following the CB "boom", when enormous numbers of Japanese schoolchildren were attracted to shortwave listening, coining the term "BCL" (ie, "broadcast listener"), fuelled by the burgeoning Japanese electronics' manufacturing industry. This massive exposure of millions of Japanese children to the hobby was reflected in the vast numbers of QSL reports received by Radio Australia's Japanese section, the majority of which were for reception of "DX Time"! It was an enormous flood, which was beyond the capability of RA to manage. I helped RA to process those reports, most of which were "gimme QSL" requests - there were mountains of mail in big boxes!
Several of the "DX Time" writing team of the 1970's and 1980's are currently members of the Electronic DX Press Radio Monitoring Association, including Craig Tyson and Mick Ogrizek.
RA's Indonesian service also took the scripts for its own DX program until 1989, but there is no longer any Indonesian DX program.
Following representations from listeners, in 1982 RA decided to reintroduce a "communications" program in the English service, calling it "Spectrum", which ran until September 1983. This was hosted by the late Dick Speekman, formerly of Radio Netherland's "DX Juke Box" (which had also been closed down!) I assisted Dick with weekly SW and DX notes, as well as being an interviewee, until that program was subsequently terminated in September 1983!
One month later, it reappeared under the new name of "Talkback", prepared by RA staffers and Dick was no longer involved. Each week, until June 1985, I wrote the shortwave news, and visited RA's studios in the new East Burwood (Melbourne) complex to tape the shows. This was a new experience for me - everything had to be precisely scripted - no colloquial expressions - no departure from the written scripts - and no jokes. I was given full access to the complex, and had to book a studio and operator in advance. There were also strict rules for annunciation, pronunciation, and "speaking style" to ensure that the Australian accent didn't seem too prominent!
These studio facilities at the time were an eye-opener, state-of-the-art, with everything on large tape spools, running at 1 7/8 inches/sec. Everything broadcast had to be backed-up and archived for several weeks. It helps the soul to know that what you are taping will be going out to the entire world in a few hours time!
The East Burwood complex was closed down some years ago when ABC's operations were centralised in the Melbourne central business district "Southbank" building. The East Burwood buildings remain, and have been converted into residential units. The surrounding land has been re-developed and is now closely packed with houses.
"Talkback" came to an abrupt end in June 1985 and the popular DX news was never replaced.
I had, and continue, to be involved with DX-type program production over other international broadcasters. This has included "Pacific DX Report" over the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation (1979-1981), "South Pacific DX Report" over HCJB (1979-1986), "DX Newsline" over Trans World Radio Guam (1982-1992), and "DX News" over Adventist World Radio Guam (1994 onwards). Since 1995, I have been doing the monthly "Australian DX Report" scripts over HCJB and WHRI, and since 1999 over Adventist World Radio Asia. Since May 2006, I’ve been producing the weekly “Australian DX Report” over WWCR, Nashville, Tennessee, with 142 episodes having been produced.
In 1997 I launched the EDXP Internet Radio Service, where my weekly "Australian DX Reports" (with music!) may be downloaded free of charge by anyone, anywhere!
So, to answer your question as to "how long have I been working with DX programs? "... continuously since March 1964, which seems to be about 45 years!
All of the work is done on a voluntary, spare-time basis, and I have lost count of the number of hours dedicated to the tasks over all those years. Unlike some people I neither seek payment, nor insist on recognition for all of this - I do it because I enjoy it, with a desire to help others. As a matter of fact, the Australian Government must have seen something in what I was doing, as it awarded me the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1981, "for services to the community in shortwave radio", with the approval of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Award is unique, and no similar distinction has ever been made within the Australian Honours List.
So, there you are...
Regards!

With several hundred entries, it provides comprehensive information of shortwave broadcasting schedules for transmissions intended for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, for broadcasts in all languages. The complete schedules for Radio Australia and CVC-Australia are also included.
The data is arranged in two sections, by studio country and starting time.Each entry shows broadcasting organization, frequency, starting time,finishing time, language, target area, transmitter site, transmitter country, studio country, and days of operation.
The ASWG is compiled from an extensive worldwide network of broadcasters, frequency planners, engineering consultants, professional monitors, and members of the Electronic DX Press Radio Monitoring Association.
Information is also included from the detailed research by the author, himself a communications engineer and journalist, with over 47 years experience at both the professional and hobby level.
The ASWG has been around for 27 years, and was first published in 1982 as a supplement to an early Australian commercial electronics magazine. When that magazine ceased operations in 1992, ASWG became an independent self-funded project and is now published twice a year.
Proceeds from sales assist with costs of research, marketing, printing,packaging and mailing.
