Arto Mujunen, leader of the IBB monitoring in Finland, explained that he
has 10 monitoring stations and 20 private monitors throughout the former
Soviet Union. They monitor the VOA, Radio Free Europe/Liberty and Radio
Free Asia. Their reports are satisfactory, so reports from DX-ers are not
needed.
He had just returned from the HFCC conference in Moscow in August where it
became evident, that international shortwave broadcasting is *not* dying,
but it is still more difficult to find available frequencies. There are
fewer broadcasters, but the remaining stations use an increasing number of
relaystations. Generally the international broadcasters are not interested
in using the tropical bands, so these bands will not be crowded by these
powerhouses.

Daenemark auf 5 MHz - Daenische Funkamateure sind seit kurzem auf 5 MHz

Moeglichkeit, eine Versuchsgenehmigung fuer einen beliebigen Frequenzkanal
im Bereich zwischen 5.25 und 5.45 MHz zu beantragen. Die kostenpflichtige
Versuchgenehmigung ist fuer jeweils ein Jahr gueltig. Die zugelassenen
Betriebsarten und Ausgangsleistungen orientieren sich an der
Amateurfunkgenehmigung des Antragstellers.
