BROADCASTS TO AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
Edition 1
The first edition of a BRAND-NEW print publication "BROADCASTS TO AUSTRALIA AND NEW
ZEALAND" (BTA) is available in mid-April 2006.
This is a replacement for the
"Australasian Shortwave Guide" - the last edition (No. 20) was
published in November 2005.
BTA is not really new! It was first
published many years ago as a supplement to an early Australian commercial
electronics magazine. When that magazine ceased operations some 15 years ago,
BTA became an independent publication, ultimately transforming itself into the
"Australasian Shortwave Guide"
The ASWG has now been retired, s the
result of a major review of marketing and content.
The reborn
BTA, as a no-frills reference, covers the international shortwave transmission
period commencing March 26 2006, and
concluding on October 29, 2006,
known as the “A06 International
Transmission Season”
With several hundred entries, it provides
comprehensive information of shortwave broadcasting schedules to Australia and
New Zealand for broadcasts in all languages. The complete schedules of Radio
Australia and CVC-Australia are included.
The data is arranged in two sections, by studio
country and starting time. Each entry shows broadcasting organisation, frequency,
starting time, finishing time, language, target area, transmitter site,
transmitter country, studio country, and days of operation.
The BTA 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 44 years
experience at both the professional and hobby level.
