On a related note, the English language TV channel "Russia Today" is
available for free, either via streaming over the Internet at:
http://www.russiatoday.ru

or via Galaxy 25 satellite http://www.lyngsat.com/galaxy25.html/ at
97 West longitude, carrier frequency 11966 Mhz (11.966 Ghz),
Horizontal polarization, MPEG-2 digital, video PID = 7001, audio PID
= 7002. In North America, a 76cm / 30" dish with a LINEAR LNBF is
required for good reception.

Well-produced, and obviously espousing a Russian viewpoint, it's a
good source for seeing what the leadership in Russia wants to say.
Reading between the lines is always a fun game.

I'm not sure whether satellite signals are on topic or off. They are
radio transmissions, and at a wavelength of about 2.5 centimeters, you
can definitely argue it's a "short" wave. ;P
