Hi, I'm a British citizen based near Cheltenham, UK. I'm trying to
find a newsgroup to discuss shortwave DXing, but this newsgroup seems
to be full of American politics. I'm not American, I don't plan on
being American, so this is just irritating noise to me, and what with
me having neither the ability nor desire to vote in the USA, I doubt
that the political posters care about me one jot. Also I don't DX
American stations, I prefer European, African or Asian stations (US
stations seem mostly religious and I'm a humanist [agnostic/atheiest
with morals] so that all goes over my head).

What other DXing newsgroups exist on Usenet? Is there one more skewed
towards European, African or Asian DXing?

(Don't get me wrong; America is a lovely place, been there on business
and holiday several times, nice people etc. I'm just not interested
and democratically unable to be involved with the politics, and have
no interest in religion).

Andrew -- Check out the groups on Yahoo! Groups. See
http://groups.yahoo.com for the top page. Search on Shortwave or go to:

http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/1603396379

to go to the "Hobbies & Crafts Hobbies Amateur and Ham Radio
Shortwave" section.

You can also find groups covering specific types of shortwave
broadcasts, individual broadcasters, manufacturers and even specific
models of SW receivers (i.e., dedicated specifically to the Sony ISF-
SW100).
