New ILG Shortwave Statistic February 2008 based on ILG Database as of February 28th 2008 for ILG clients

1. Frequency Hour Statistic
This survey gives weekly hours of stations with power higher than 5 kw of the International Stations, Home/National/Regional Stations, DRM Stations and the Jamming Stations. The good news: AM shortwave remains on the nearly same level, but the bad news is that DRM hast lost again more than 30%, which means if this continues there will be no more DRM at the end of 2009. That the fact and the result that not enough receivers are available on the market.
2. Analysis of Hours
This is the comparison of weekly broadcasting hours, based on data of requirements at conferences versus the real operation verified by ILG. You can see here clearly that current A08 HFCC/ABU/ASBU requirement data including 31% wooden entries of which ILG has identified already 20%. Such a high number of useless entries makes a satisfied co-ordination nearly impossible. The HFCC/ASBU/ABU operational schedules also still including too much wooden entries in the past: e.g. B07 with 33%, A07 with 26%, B06 with 24% and A06 with 19% wooden entries. It is also very important to know that more than 25% of all shortwave stations with transmitter power higher than 5kw (operating between 2 - 25 MHz) are no members of HFCC/ABU/ASBU !
3. Analysis of FMOs
This survey gives the weekly hours of each FMO (Frequency Management Org.) since A06 season and shows real weekly transmitting hours. Here you can see in one line the hours of each FMO. You can find out possible wooden hours if you see current required hours and those data of the last 4 seasons. No shortwave service is increasing its output and therefore it is easy to find out what is going on or going wrong ...
4. Analysis of Stations
This survey gives the weekly hours of each Radio Station since the A04 season and shows verified weekly transmitting hours.
