And a couple of hours after posting this I now have access.

Oh Thank You Gods of Yahoo!!!

I've joined several Yahoo shortwave groups over the past week.
Degen,
Tecsun, Sony, etc., all have some great information. The Yahoo
Shortwave Radios group has me puzzled though. I completed the
information sheet last week and I still can't get in. Yahoo says
"Your
membership is awaiting approval by the group owner".

It must be quite an exclusive shortwave radio club to require that
much
of a background check. Thinking back over all the forums, nets,
bbses,
etc., I've belonged to over the years I've never had a forum owner
limit access...usually they welcome it.
