The
EI7GL blog reports that publication of
the World Radio TV
Handbook
(WRTH) will cease with the current 76th edition. For many
years, the WRTH
provided information about shortwave broadcast times and
frequencies.
In a statement, the publishers said, “Having produced this book
for the past
24 years, we are very sorry to announce that WRTH 2022
will be the final
edition of World Radio TV Handbook produced and
published by WRTH
Publications. We realize that this news will be disappointing
for many
people. We wish to thank you all for your loyal support over the
years.
Good DX and Happy Listening.”

In
a brief transmission across the Atlantic Ocean using a 150-watt
wireless
transmitter station, members of the Marconi Radio Club of
Newfoundland
on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 12, celebrated the 120th anniversary
of Guglielmo
Marconi’s reception of the first transatlantic message, at Cabot
Tower on
Dec. 12, 1901.
At Signal Hill, MRCN members and directors Joe Craig and Len
Zedel, in
a re-enactment of Marconi’s transatlantic experiment, spoke with
club members
from the MRCN’s sister club, the Poldhu Amateur Radio Club, in
Cornwall,
England, from where Marconi sent his transatlantic message 120
years ago.
Using an HF radio contact, Zedel and Craig also spoke with
people from the
Foundation Guglielmo Marconi in Italy; the Marconi Radio Club in
Cape Cod
in the U.S.; and the Sydney Amateur Radio Club, in Sydney, N.S.
