TRENDS IN TROPICAL BANDS BROADCASTING 2010 A year ago I did forecast, that there will not be many Domestic broadcasting stations left on the Tropical Bands (120, 90 and 60 mb) in year 2020 and this trend continues. As editor of the Domestic Broadcasting Survey (DBS) my task is, throughout the year until the next publication, to check the bands myself and follow the loggings from our members and other DX-ers around the world. For each frequency on the list, a note is taken of the months when it has been heard. If a station has not been heard by any DX-er during the past 12 months, it is deleted. By this measure, the DBS contains only the active domestic broadcasting stations. With this systematic registration of broadcasting stations on the Tropical Bands each year, it is possible to make some statistics, on how many frequencies were active in each region of the world and compare these numbers. International broadcasters, Clandestine and Pirate stations are not included in these statistics.

The reason is that other media got higher priority than keeping an elderly Shortwave (SW) transmitter alive.

INTERNATIONAL. TRENDS IN TROPICAL BANDS BROADCASTING 2010<br />

A year ago I did forecast, that there will not be many Domestic<br />

broadcasting stations left on the Tropical Bands (120, 90 and 60 mb) in<br />

year 2020 and this trend continues.<br />

As editor of the Domestic Broadcasting Survey (DBS) my task is, throughout<br />

the year until the next publication, to check the bands myself and follow<br />

the loggings from our members and other <strong>DX</strong>-ers around the world. For each<br />

frequency on the list, a note is taken of the months when it has been<br />

heard. If a station has not been heard by any <strong>DX</strong>-er during the past 12<br />

months, it is deleted. By this measure, the DBS contains only the active<br />

domestic broadcasting stations. With this systematic registration of<br />

broadcasting stations on the Tropical Bands each year, it is possible to<br />

make some statistics, on how many frequencies were active in each region<br />

of the world and compare these numbers. International broadcasters,<br />

Clandestine and Pirate stations are not included in these statistics.<br />
