i think US shortwave is a travesty. terrible showing of our country
to the world as religious fanatics. terrible-- i hate it and wish
there were more intelligent US content broadcast.
Are you going to do anything about what's bothering you?

it would be good if US shortwave stations would sell big blocks of
time directly to Deutsche Welle, BBC, VoR, NHK, Radio Prague, etc.
then at least it would be intelligent programming.

Just because the US religious broadcasters don't have what you want does
not make them unintelligent.

I'm not interested in listening to relays from transmitters in our own
country. It kind of ruins the whole idea of SW for me.

David,

Make that Three Kinds of Shortwave Listners (SWLs) :

1 - One Kind Enjoys 'other' Cultures and is a Shortwave
Listener (SWL) who likes to listen to the Programs from
International Boradcasters or Their Families Ethno-Cultural
Homeland.

2 - Another Kind Searches for News and Information from
the Source; and Un-Biased News and Information with a
Different Perspective; and they use the Shortwave Radio
as a means of doing so.

3 - Plus the Kind that are Shortwave Radio DXers; and
are into : The Art; The Challenge; and The Technology
of Seeking Out those Hard-to-Find and Hard-to-Hear
Shortwave Radio Signals that only a few get to Hear
from the Far Corners of the World.

.. . . and some Shortwave Radio Listeners (SWLs) enjoy
doing all three kinds of Shortwave Radio Listening.

WHICH KIND OT SHORTWAVE LISTENER ARE YOU ?

FWIW - I am a 2-1-3 Kind of Shortwave Radio Listener (SWL).

i want to know ~ RHF
