Prime Time Shortwave shutting down June 26, 2015

Prime Time Shortwave shutting down June 26, 2015
~.~.~
It is disappointing to have to do this but it looks like I may be discontinuing the Prime Time Shortwave website June 24. Where I have the Prime Time Shortwave hosted, Front Page extensions will no longer be supported, and the costs for using their website builder is too high added to the server space. I expected this day would eventually come since the Front Page product was discontinued in 2006.
I have been doing the Prime Time Shortwave website for 17 years and it is getting difficult to find the time to work on it.
Regards,
Daniel Sampson

DSWCI close down end of 2016

By end of 2016 according Anker Petersen in DX Window quoted in BCDX. ““I am just back from the successful Annual General Meeting of the DSWCI in Tarp, Germany, where 24 members and wives participated. With written votes from non-participating members, we with an overwhelming majority (97%) decided to close down the DSWCI by the end of 2016, due to the general termination of shortwave broadcasting stations and the growing age of the DSWCI Board members, who cannot find any replacements”
