The International Short Wave League (ISWL) was formed in 1946 and since then has provided facilities enabling members around the world to enjoy their hobby, to the great advantage to themselves and fellow enthusiasts. Unlike most radio societies, the League effectively caters for members interested in both the Amateur radio and Broadcast Bands, membership being equally open to licensed amateurs and Short Wave Listeners world-wide. The International Short Wave League is a non profit making organisation, run by volunteers who are elected by the Leagues members. All ISWL members can participate in a full contest and awards programme. The awards are also available to non members and can be posted world-wide. Following enquiries from Amateur Radio Clubs and Societies etc., regarding Affiliated membership of the ISWL, the League's Council has approved such membership, therefore clubs and other radio organisations may join the League.

The league publishes a monthly journal called Monitor, which is issued to members. It contains sections concerning Contests, HF operations, Airband, DX news, Short Wave Broadcast schedules, as well as occasional articles written by League members, relating to QRP, VHF operation, antennas etc.
