Flemish freelance translator [www.altaverba.be] Herman Boel began his
radio DX journey in 1986 with a QSL from Radio Sweden. Living in
Erembodegem, near Brussels in Flanders [Belgium], Herman translates English,
French & German into Dutch and Flemish.
He is also author of the Dutch translation of the Skepdic's
Dictionary [www.skepdic.com] and enjoys many aspects of Scandinavian
and Anglo-Saxon culture.
For details about today's mediumwave and longwave broadcasting in
Europe [and Africa] we highly recommend you consult the detailed
Euro-African Medium Wave Guide at [www.emwg.info].
This guide is
available both online and as a pdf file and is regularly updated by
Herman. It's an excellent resource for listeners, broadcasters and
researchers alike.
