Prime Time Shortwave shutting down June 26, 2015<\/span>
~.~.~<\/span>
It is disappointing to have to do this but it looks like I may be discontinuing the Prime Time Shortwave website June 24. Where I have the Prime Time Shortwave hosted, Front Page extensions will no longer be supported, and the costs for using their website builder is too high added to the server space. I expected this day would eventually come since the Front Page product was discontinued in 2006. <\/span>

I have been doing the Prime Time Shortwave website for 17 years and it is getting difficult to find the time to work on it.<\/span>

Regards,<\/span>
Daniel Sampson<\/span>
