I've been a member of NASWA since 1981, with a few lapses due to
college, moving, etc. The NASWA Journal (formerly FRENDX) is even of a
higher quality today. The page count is still around 60 pgs/month, more
in the winter due to more DX, perhaps a bit less in the summer due to
noisy conditions. There are always very high quality articles of a
technical and/or historical SW nature.

I'm not sure what the membership is, but it is probably down from the
peak since the number of SWL's has decreased over the years. Don't let
the web site fool you, though -- NASWA is very much alive and kicking.
The web site is a volunteer effort of one very generous DXer, so that
may explain why it hasn't been updated lately.

In addition to the monthly Journal, NASWA members can subscribe to the
free email "flashsheet" which comes out weekly. This is the most
up-to-date bulletin with DX tips only days or sometimes hours old.

NASWA through the Journal provides in-depth information that you are
unlikely to find on the 'net without some searching, and even then you
may never find it. This is supplemented by the flashsheet described
earlier.

As a member you can also apply for NASWA award certificates suitable
for framing based on your DXing achievements (# countries verified in
Africa, etc.) for a very small fee, typically only a few bucks.

U.S. membership is only $26/yr as I recall.

For a list of other SWL-related links, check out
http://www.bluegrassdavinci.com/ Links section. I try to keep it
updated.

I've been a continuous member since 1982, and it's a nice publication. Hopefully
the website will be updated on a more regular basis.

Yeah. I'm new to SWLing and had heard others mention NASWA. My first
impression of them was their website which starts out with a request for
"urgent" action by May 3, 2004 (last year)!

Hey, Ace..they're talking about NASWA, **NOT** NAMBLA. Normal people think it's
a perverted organization. You should be ashamed of yourself.
