PRESS RELEASE TDP SW-98
TDP
TRANSMITTER DOCUMENTATION PROJECT

February 2, 1998.

For the 5th year now, detailed information is available about
transmitters used by shortwave radio stations around the world.

TDP SW-98 -- the "Transmitter Documentation Project" -- has just come
off the press in its fifth edition. TDP is the result of more than 15
years of research by Belgian DXer Ludo Maes, with the cooperation of
well-known radio personalities, international organizations,
publications, DX clubs and programmes, transmitter manufacturers and the
radio stations themselves.

TDP is an 80-page booklet listing shortwave broadcast transmitters
worldwide, arranged by country. Each listing indicates the name of the
station, transmitter site, geographical coordinates and call-sign. It
also shows the number of transmitters at the site, their power,
manufacturer, type number and year of installation and year out of
service.

To celebrate the 5th edition, the TDP is printed in full colour and
includes several full colours advertisements from companies in the
shortwave business. As usual, the latest shortwave transmitters that
have been installed are included and the hard to obtain details about
transmitters in Central and South America have been expanded.

This informative publication also contains a list of shortwave
transmitter manufacturers and their headquarters, plus statistical
breakdowns of the number of shortwave transmitters in use around the
world, grouped by power level, country and manufacturer.

This year's articles include "HF Transmission : an evolutionary market?"
by Jeff Cohen from World Radio Network, "Antennas for the Shortwave
Broadcaster" by Richard R. Greene from TCI, Technology for
Communications International and "History of Energy-Onix" by Bernard
Wise.

TDP is read year after year by radio stations, transmitter
manufacturers, radio consultants and engineers, as well as by the
dedicated radio hobbyist.
