Easy Listening, December 1996

Season’s Greetings

The Christmas and New Year’s holidays often provide opportunities for special celebrations and parties, and also prompt special programming on domestic radio and TV outlets. Shortwave is no exception, as several broadcasters plan special Christmas and year-end programs. The Target Topics section below highlights these. As this is the issue of the Journal you’ll have in your hands on January 1st, I have also included a New Year’s reflection of my own further on the column. Hopefully you’ll still be paying attention then!

NASWA Notes, December 1996

Season’s greetings to all members! It’s hard to believe another calendar year has come and gone!!

A have a special request to make to long time NASWA members. I am looking for Frendx bulletins prior to August 1966 (the month/year we became all shortwave broadcast). I would like to expand the 25 Years Ago feature with excerpts from the “early days” of the club. Original bulletins would be fine if you are willing to part with them; copies would be okay too. Or, you could ship them to me and I will have copies made. Your original Frendx’s would be shipped back to you faster than you can say “Fred Kohlbrenner.” Please contact me at either the masthead address or my Internet address r.dangelo3@genie.com if you can help. Thank you!
