This sounds like a common theme. A shortwave station, intended audience
being the US, sidestepping FCC regulations by aiming a barely directional
antenna at the northern tip of Mexico. There are a number of stations doing
just this. The majority of their programming is far right religious with the
occasional fringe "militia", conspiracy freak, and doomsday predictor thrown
in. Don't plan on getting rich. In fact, you may well have trouble staying
on the air. The sort of people that you will be dealing with are often less
than trustworthy. Watch your back.

Hello all,

I am new to the group but have a specific reason for joining. The
primary reason I joined, like many of you I am sure, is to get
information about short wave radio. My situation: I have the
appropriate parcel of land (110) acres that is free from any legal
impediments to building a short wave radio tower. The land is located
in West Central Alabama, in rural Fayette County.I also have the
necessary funding to build a short wave radio tower and transmitter.
The site has been evaluated as a perfect location that is virtually
free from any potential liability and from the perspective of reaching
millions of people in Mexico and Central America.


Questions for the group:


1. What are the potential financial rewards for owning and operating a
short wave radio transmitter/tower?


2. How does an owner go about establishing a revenue stream from
potential purchasers of air time.


3. Who would the primary customer base be?


Comments or suggestions?


Thank you,


DrJoe (newbie)
