Who is the webmaster?

Hello, I'm Daniel Sampson. I have been a
shortwave listener for over twenty years. For a few years
I was on the staff of SPEEDX "Society to Preserved the
Engrossed Enjoyment of DXing" 1983-1994 where I was first
editor of the European loggings section and later editor
of "What's On" which was a English shortwave schedules
column. This website is the new and improved version
of "What's On." I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy
bringing it to you. Starting with the April 1999 issue I
became editor for the Prime Time SW column of the Canadian
International DX Club Messenger and starting July 2004 I
became a Frequency Monitor for Monitoring Times. The
receivers I presently use are the Sony ICF-2010, Yaesu
FRG-7700 and Kenwood R-1000. Some of my earliest memories
of shortwave listening include tuning in to get the
results of the 1978 World Cup soccer championships. How
long I'd been listening to shortwave prior to that I not
entirely sure. I also recall the day after a long wait
that I received my QSL card from Radio Uganda for
reception back in 1979. Also I can not forget the ANARC
Conventions I attended in Thunder Bay, Ontario, in 1981
and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1985. I attended the Madison
(WI) DX Get-together in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2006.
It's wonderful to meet fellow listeners who share this
wonderful hobby.
I live in the small town of Arcadia, Wisconsin, population 2,925,
located in scenic Trempealeau
County. Other interest of mine include bicycling,
railfanning, bird watching, Star Trek, stargazing,
classical music, ballet and cultural events. I also
sing in the senior choir, handbell ringer and am webmaster
for Christ
Lutheran Church in Arcadia.
