[HCDX] Pacific Asian Log (PAL) moves to new home
Wellington, New Zealand
March 15,2005
*Pacific Asian Log (PAL) moves to new home*
Bruce Portzer's Pacific Asian Log (PAL) guide to mediumwave stations
from Afghanisatan to Alaska and beyond has moved to a new on-line
location at www.radioheritage.net effective immediately.
Bruce Portzer says 'the opportunity recently came along to move PAL
to a new home, add new features and make it more widely accessible to
the DX community. This is great news for everyone who likes to use
the most up-to-date list of AM stations from this exotic part of the
world.'
New features include an on-line search capability for popular
searches by country, location, network and frequency. More
information can be added to the database later, such as links to
individual station web sites and streaming audio.
According to Portzer, 'everything you liked about the previous
editions is here, with details of hours of operation, call-signs and
slogans, formats and transmitter powers, as well as location,
province or state and more.'
PAL can be accessed as a complete document in frequency order or in
alphabetical country order, or with the new simple searches which
should prove popular for DXers looking for specific stations.
'It's also neat to partner with the New Zealand based Radio Heritage
Foundation' adds Portzer, 'because the original PAL was created there
in the 1950's by the late Merv Branks, and this brings PAL back to
its homeland roots.'
'Now we're on-line at www.radioheritage.net, we can also keep
PAL almost constantly updated. DXers can send me updates, corrections
and new information from the website and we'll have the whole PAL
database refreshed in a short space of time. This is incredibly fast
and user friendly.'
Seattle WA based Bruce Portzer has also been appointed
editor-in-chief of the on-line radio guide series being introduced by
the Radio Heritage Foundation throughout 2005.
Radio Heritage Foundation Chairman David Ricquish welcomed the new
partnership with PAL. 'This is a great bonus for DXers everywhere,
with easy on-line searches, and so much information about Pacific
radio. Hosting PAL on our website just made so much sense, and we're
really glad to have someone of Bruce's standing in the DX community
partner with us.'
He adds 'Merv Branks was one of my mentors in the DX hobby, so
it's really special to honor his original creation of PAL by having
it back home in New Zealand after almost 40 years - this time as part
of a global monitoring collaboration headed up by Bruce in Seattle.'
The latest edition of PAL is now available at www.radioheritage.net.
