HISTORY: The Medium Wave Circle was founded in 1955 by Ken Brownless who ran affairs single handledly from his home in York until his death in 1984. Since 1984 the Circle has been run by an organising committee consisting of an Honorary President, Secretary, Treasurer and the General Editor of the club journal, Medium Wave News. MEDIUM WAVE NEWS: The prime activity of the Circle has been the publication of Medium Wave News. This started life as a single stencilled page appearing in December 1954 and grew to eight mimeographed pages by the 1970s. Over the past few years we have continued to improve and expand Medium Wave News. In 1987 we changed from the traditional loose leaf broadsheet style to a 16 page A5 size booklet. This doubled the amount of information we could carry in each issue. In the following years we increased the number of issues from 8 per year, through 9 to the present level of 10 copies each year. In parallel, the size of the magazine increased from 16 to 20 pages per issue. Now we regularly produce 24 pages per issue which represents a full three fold increase of magazine contents since 1987! In 1993 the contents of Medium Wave News increased by 10% and we are planning a similar further expansion in 1994.So that you can appreciate the scope of Medium Wave News, the 1992-3 Annual Index is attached. OTHER ACTIVITIES: Although the prime activity of the club is still producing Medium Wave News regularly for members in the UK and overseas, the club continues to develop its activities on several fronts. The club maintains a portfolio of Reprint Publications for the benefit of members. This year we are manning a stand at the Leicester Amateur Radio Show to promote the hobby of medium wave listening and DXing more widely. Members also stage regular DX-peditions in the search for new and elusive stations. MEMBERSHIP: Membership of the Circle is open to anyone with an interest in LW/MW radio, whether it be radio listening, technical development or enthusiastic DXing. Indeed we cover the ground between 100kHz and 1700kHz. Although we are a specialist radio club we welcome all listeners; neither age nor experience (or lack of it) are a barrier to membership. In fact despite being UK-based, we always welcome our overseas friends. JOINING: The club works with a membership renewal system based on an April renewal for all members. If you join part way through the year membership fees are charged pro-rata unless you would like to receive back issues of Medium Wave News to the preceeding April. If you wish to join please carefully complete and return (by post) the attached form. If on the otherhand you would like to see a sample copy of Medium Wave News before joining please send the form with either 4 International Reply Coupons or US$3 bills (or equivalent in any major currency). I trust you'll feel inclined to join the Medium Wave Circle. I look forward to hearing from you and I shall personally see that your name is immediately added to the members' register. 73s and good listening, Steve Whitt on behalf of the Medium Wave Circle ------------------------please cut and return completed form---- | | To: Medium Wave Circle, | I would like to subscribe to Medium Wave News as indicated | below (please tick your choice): | | UK 2 years GBP21 ****save 10% now!**** | UK 1 year GBP12 | Europe (inc Eire) 1 year GBP15 (US$25, 35DM, 150FF) | The Americas 1 year GBP18 (US$28 or equivalent) | Rest of World 1 year GBP20 (US$30 or equivalent) | One year membership expires in March 1995; | Two year membership expires in March 1996 | | | Your Name:______________________________________________ | | Your Address:___________________________________________ | | Town/ City:_____________________________________________ | | Post (Zip) Code:_____________ Country:_________________ Please return this form with payment to Medium Wave Circle, 43 Atwood Drive, Bristol BS11 0SR, England.
