NASWA became an "all shortwave broadcast" club in August 1966. For approximately two years thereafter, the "Shortwave Broadcast Center" column, edited by Don Jensen, included a "Clandestine Corner" subsection featuring material from Jensen's "History of Clandestine Radio Operations." These articles represent some of the earliest writing on clandestine topics from within the DX community. Thanks to Don and NASWA for permission to post them here. There will be 21 articles in all.
