So Lets Begin and here are some important DX News:-
1. Harold Camping, Founder of Family Radio, expired on December
15th, 2013. Camping, was a retired civil engineer and he
founded Family Stations Ministry in 1958, which eventually broadcast in 30
languages on a network of more than 140 radio stations and online. His
ministry most recently spent millions warning the world that the end

for radio lovers Harold did his best with Family Radio network and we pray
that his soul may rest in Peace.
