FROM THE EDITOR - As stated on TFW 96 & 97,  concerning my work problems
at office,  I have to slow down the issue of  TFW & TFW on Line:  I am
starting a new job of mine, not radio related, and continuing my current
job. TFW will be issued regularly till # 100. From  #  101 ,TFW will be
issued, TEMPORARILY and IRREGULARLY, with tips of mine only, I hope for
some weeks, because I am learning how to manage well the time . As the
sole TFW editor, I apologize to all TFW contributors, DX  friends and
readers for this inconvenience.  Of course, I' ll continue to collect
your contribution, hoping to have time for radiolistening. Thank you for
your attention.  (Gianni - Ed.)


A SAD LETTER FROM ANKER PETERSEN- Dear friends, As friends to Jens
Frost, it is my sad duty to inform you that Jens suddenly passed away
this Monday after a heart stroke. I talked with him on phone last Friday
where he confirmed his participation in the small EDXC Conference on Nov
6 here in Copenhagen. Yesterday I received a letter from him
poststamped Monday with contributions to the next ShortwaveNews. So for
me it is hard to believe that he is no longer, but his son-in-law, Per
Soerensen told me so this afternoon, and I promised to inform you. Jens
would have been 80 years two months from now. He was Assistant Editor of
WRTH in 1961-1963, Editor-in Chief 1964-1986 and Editor Emeritus
1987-1999. Letters of condolences can be sent to his daughter and
son-in-law, Sonja Frost & Per Soerensen, Engvaenget 18, DK 2650
Hvidovre, Denmark. A request to Editors and Publishers: Please delete
Jens Frost from your distribution lists of broadcast schedules, etc. In
deep sorrow, Anker Petersen
