Countries like Brazil, China, India, Peru, Papua New Guinea and Bolivia
are still dominating the Tropical Bands. But during the past year Tropical
stations have disappeared, especially in Central Africa, Latin America and
Indonesia. The reason is that other media got higher priority than keeping
an elderly Shortwave (SW) transmitter alive.

(member of Japan SW Club), Iwate prefecture. I am very happy that many old
and young listeners over the world visit this page. By the way, this page
is now on the way. The new QSL will be added.

The loss of Gabriel Ivan Barrera.
A week ago DSWCI-member since June 1983, Gabriel Ivan Barrera suddenly was
hit by a heart attack and passed away at an age of only 52. He was born in
Chile, but when his father established an international trade business in
Buenos Aires, Gabriel was employed there. He has been a keen DX-er since
1976 with special interest of Latin American and African stations on the
tropical bands. By 1989 he had heard 180 countries and verified 145
countries. For about 30 years he has been DX-Editor of the DX-programme of
Radiodifusion Argentina al Exterior and his last DX-Supplement was aired
on Sep 17, 2010.
He wrote these words on a DSWCI Questionnaire on March 18, 1989: "I am
very happy to be a member of DSWCI, principally because all the
information is of first level around the world, always with the latest
news and commentaries. For me, the DSWCI is the best DX club in the World.
GIB."
Gabriel did visit my home in Denmark August 15, 1990 on a business trip. I
visited Buenos Aires, hosted by Gabriel for a week in March 1995,
