Default Shortwave loggings 1230-1315 UTC 1/23/2009

Thanks for the post SC Dxing.I like the format of your loggings -
quick and easy to read and grasp. 3.215 still is off air at this hour.

Your synopsis of China radio regarding internet porn is noteworthy.
The Commies are cracking down on political dissent and using the "it's
for the children" ruse to justify it. The US government will use the
same rationale when the time comes they decide the internet is a
threat to their tyranny.

"The Internet crackdown has been described by analysts as another step
in the Communist Party's battle to stifle dissent in a year of
sensitive anniversaries, including the 20th anniversary of the
crackdown on the pro-democracy Tiananmen Square protests.

"The Internet remains where the battle for information lies and the
fact that the government is devoting so much effort at reining it in,
in itself indicates how much of a threat they perceive it to be," said
Nicholas Bequelin of Human Rights Watch.

China polices the Internet intensely, quickly removing any content
deemed subversive or overly critical of the Party.

The government has closed over 1,200 websites, including a popular
blog site, but with an estimated 3,000 new sites appearing daily, the
battle to maintain control of the online world is never-ending."
