Thanks to NASB associate member Galcom International, which hosted the 2024 NASB Annual Meeting at its headquarters in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. One of the highlights of the meeting was an excursion to Niagara Falls on the US-Canadian border, with a group dinner in the Skylon Tower overlooking the falls. We'll have more about the meeting in the near future, and you can hear many reports about the NASB meeting on the Wavescan DX program, which is broadcast by NASB members Adventist World Radio, WWCR and WRMI, as well as on Voice of Hope-Africa in Zambia and IRRS-Italy. (By the way, we did NOT actually go over the falls in a barrel!)

All shortwave listeners are invited to attend the 2024 annual meeting of the National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters (NASB) on July 22 and 23 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada -- just an hour north of Niagara Falls and Buffalo, New York, and an hour or so from Toronto. Shortwave listeners and shortwave broadcasters from as far west as California and as far east as Europe will be at the meeting, which is free of charge to attend and open to everyone. All you need to do is register your name and email address on the NASB website, which is www.shortwave.org. Then click on Annual Meeting Info, and you will find all of the details about the meeting and the online registration form.
Speakers at the meeting will include Fred Waterer of The Spectrum Monitor, talking about shortwave programming. Sean Welsh of Canadian Content Radio will speak about his program and the importance of maintaining Canadian content on shortwave since Radio Canada International is no longer on the air. Steve Canney will talk about is experiences as the QSL manager for shortwave station CFRX in Toronto for 32 years now. Mike Sabin, Technical Operations Director of Trans World Radio Asia, will give an update about TWR's worldwide broadcasts. Representatives of other US shortwave stations will also give updates about their operations.
The meeting will be held at the factory of Galcom International, which makes solar-powered, fix-tuned receivers for Christian shortwave (and other bands) stations around the world. There will be an opportunity to visit the factory and see radios being assembled.
On the second day of the meeting, July 23, there will be an excursion to world-famous Niagara Falls including dinner (sponsored by NASB) on an observation deck of the Skylon Tower with a magnificent view of the American and Canadian portions of Niagara Falls. And we'll take in a spectacular light show at the Falls before returning to Hamilton in the evening.
So please join us if you can. Jeff and Thais White from WRMI will be at the meeting, as will Ray Robinson of the Voice of Hope and co-host of the AWR Wavescan program. Find all the details at www.shortwave.org
