AWR "Wavescan" - DX Program
Results: The big 2013 AWR Annual Wavescan DX Contest, Focus on Africa
We here at the AWR DX program "Wavescan" take pleasure today in announcing the list of winners for the big 2013 Annual DX Contest, "Focus on Africa". This contest took place during the month of July, and all entries were received at the Indianapolis address by the end of August.
You will remember that there were five parts in the contest this year and you were invited to:-
Part A: Make a list of what you consider to be the 5 top QSLs in your collection from shortwave stations in Africa.
Part B: Provide a photocopy of each of these QSLs.
Part C. Make a list of the 5 top shortwave stations in Africa from which you do not hold a QSL and that you would like to add to your collection, and state the reason why.
Part D: Prepare three reception reports for the broadcast on shortwave of any AWR programming beamed towards Africa.
Part E: Include three radio cards for the Indianapolis Heritage Collection.
We are grateful again for the large number of entries received this year from so many countries around the world, and we appreciate the time consuming effort that so many listeners exerted in preparing their excellent entries. We note that many entries were from new participants this year, and we are grateful to those also who have entered on previous occasions during the past 37 years of contesting. From a long list of entries, we have chosen the following listeners to whom awards will be sent.
Here are the 2013 Continental Winners, each of whom will receive a copy of the 2014 edition of the "World Radio TV Handbook" early in the New Year:-
* Asia Muhammad Shamim Trivandrum India
* Europe Harald Denzel Egelsbach Germany
* North America Edward Insinger Summit NJ USA
* Latin America Jose Roberto da Silva Cunha Governador Valaderas Brazil
* Pacific Bruce White Karoonda SA Australia
Among the many outstanding entries in this year's contest, neat colorful and nicely prepared, we have chosen the following to receive the Award of Merit:-
* Jonathan Short Changshu China
* Jose Jacob Hyderabad India Has also entered every contest
* Leonardo Santiago Puebloe Llano Venezuela
* Vijaya Krishna Bhat Puttur India
* Thomas Drescher Rosrath Germany
* Claes Olsson Norrkoping Sweden
* Christian Ghibaudo Nice France
And now, the name of the World Winner in the big 2013 AWR Annual "Wavescan" DX Contest, "Focus on Africa". This year's winner also presented his entry in a neat colorful book style folder with several pages in full color. He will receive a book of his choice, one of the authoritative volumes on shortwave history written by the noted radio historian Jerome Berg of suburban Boston in the United States.
The World Winner for 2013 is:- Tony Ashar Depok Indonesia.
Once again, we acknowledge with appreciation the many entries in this year's "Focus on Africa" DX Contest. Thank you for participating, and we trust that you enjoyed participating as much as we did in perusing all of the interesting entries. All entries will be acknowledged through the post, and all reception reports will be verified, though it will take time, perhaps well into the New Year, to process them all.
We invite you to enter our 2014 DX Contest, which will feature "Focus on Asia", similar to this year's "Focus on Africa", though there will be an additional new innovation. The 2014 contest will be staged during the month of September, due to the fact that shortwave propagation conditions during this year's contest in July were not so favorable.

News Item
We here at the Indianapolis office of Adventist World Radio welcome all reception reports from listeners in any country throughout the world. These reception reports may be sent through the post or by email, though by post with return postage and an address label is preferred. Currently we hold many hundreds of pending reception reports that are not yet processed and it will take some time to process them all. All reception reports are verified in the time honored system of verification with a traditional printed QSL card, even though it costs more and it occupies more time to do so. It is not necessary to send follow up reception reports by email, as this tends to slow down our verification process. In addition, we prefer reception reports prepared neatly on paper, rather than an audio file as an attachment to an email message. We know that you will be pleased to receive your long expected traditional QSL card from Adventist World Radio when the postman delivers it to your regular mailbox.
