FD,

First of all the 'poor' in Africa is the average common man and
woman living in a village or town. These 'poor' Africans only
speak their local reagional dialect of some native landguage.

I know we've dropped some African languages, and I think that's a mistake.
Still,Arabic, English and French are common second languages, if not first
languages.



More and more of the Message to the 'poor' in Africa is being
done with [in country] FM Radio Sations vice Shortwave Radio.
The process is two fold: Getting cheap low cost AM/FW Radios
into every Hut and Home. {The most coommon Radios to be found
and the easist to use.} Getting your message out to the locals
via a low cost medium powered FM Station. Distribution is done
via Satellite or the Internet to the local FM Stations.

Satellite is ideal for rebroadcasting, but I hope we aren't using the
internet for that purpose. Anyway, I know tropical band SW broadcasting is
greatly diminished, but it's still there. And we should be broadcasting on
SW to the third world at least as long as there are some people listening to
their SW radios.

I'm listening to RNZ and Australia right now and I was listening to
radio Japan and radio Netherlands earlier today. I've spent a few hours
listening to them and I won't the mention others listened to for less
then 15 minutes.

Who did you listen to today?
