B20 TRANSMISSION SEASON 100+ NEW FREQUENCIES MONITORED The new B20 transmission season began last weekend. I have been very busy scanning the international shortwave bands, checking out what has changed since the start of this new season. And, as expected, there has been much movement across the spectrum by most of the major players. Below is a list of some early observations made during the past few days. Where possible, for each item I have tried to identify the former frequency used in the A20 season. But this is sometimes quite hard because schedules can be complex, or drastically changed by the broadcaster, making it difficult to arrive at direct comparisons. There are well over 100 frequency changes observed below, so if you are missing your favourite station, then it could be listed below!

  Nihon Shortwave Broadcasting Co. Ltd NSB - Tokyo From 1973 I am trying to rescue some of my early DX recordings from the 1970s. Some tapes are deteriorating rather badly, so I am digitising the audio before I lose them forever! This is an archival recording of NSB, the Nihon Shortwave Broadcasting Co. Ltd in 1973. This is the only private shortwave broadcaster in Japan and the language used is almost exclusively Japanese. In 2004, the station's name was changed to Radio Nikkei, and it is still heard in many parts of the world today. This recording was made from Melbourne, Australia on May 30, 1973 on 6055 kHz. It includes the opening and closing announcements of the English program Let's Learn Japanese , ID and time check. The receiver used was a Lafayette HA230 with a dipole antenna. 73 and good DX to you all, Rob Wagner VK3BVW CLICK HERE for VK3BVW Live Stream (Clublog) Follow @robvk3bvw QRZ callsign lookup: Search Callsign lookups provide...
