It is official -- the Passport to World Band Radio series and website is past history

I am a bit upset -- not only just because Passport to World Band Radio has bitten the dust and the Pass-band website will be closing down in a few days, but royally PO'd because I had a nice collection of back issues from the 1980s that I gave away because they were taking too much space. Grrrrrr...

In case you didn't know, here is part of publisher Larry Magne's alert posted on his website March 19.

"It’s no secret — Passport 2009 is to be the last in an annual series that began in 1984. Now, the time is nigh to further phase down that operation by shuttering this website. Timing is inexact, but the wire should be snipped late this month."

And until a few years back, I always believed that it was going to be the WRTVH that would have folded first.
