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.

OK, but are you going to do anything to make your opinion count? Have you
written your congressman?

I frequently find the programming on US SW stations annoying, silly and
wrong-headed. Oftentimes it's very amusing. Even more often, it's boring.
But sometimes there's something on of great interest and importance.
Something that can't be easily dismissed.

But the bottom line is US SW radio exists the way it does because people
have put their money where their mouths are.
