Hi Michael,

In my opinion the best tropical band lists are not online, but available for
a low price. My favorite every year is the Domestic Broadcast Survey (DBS)
published by the Danish SW Club International. You can get it emailed to you
as a PDF. I believe the cost was just $10 US. cash. Turn-around time for me
was only 3 or 4 days after mailing the envelope.

The DBS is in its sixth edition, and it includes their Tropical Bands Survey
(32nd edition). They've been compiling this information for a long time, and
the DSWCI folks are very good at it! Contact them at: www.dswci.org

Another useful one is the Tropical Band List put out by German radio
enthusiast Willi Passmann. Here's a link from Radio Nederland that tells all
about it: http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/booklist/html/tbl.html The TBL can
be purchased in single issues or by subscription.

Hiya....

Are there any good up to date listings for the tropical bands that are
available ??? Tropical band DX'ing is lots of fun because there always
seems to be lots of surprises, but for the same reason, I always have a
hard
time figuring out what I'm hearing. Half the time I'm hearing something
other then what I think it is. There are a lot of good on-line lists for
the sw bands, but I cant find a good tropical band list.

Any suggestions ???
