Can't get much on Shortwave.
But there's still plenty out there to hunt down and savor.
Some pretty intense political discussions, too. A unique perspective on
the World stage.
Amen, brother!
Never quite understood why guys who frequent a particular newsgroup
topic are so down on it. Curiously it is this way on so many RADIO related
newsgroups. Put a posting on one that stated, "I really like ___." There's
always Eeyores out there to moan a response like, "What d'ya wanna like THAT
for?"
Good grief.
There's lots of new shortwave to be heard and expanded coverage of existing
stations. If you don't believe it visit
any of the shortwave club websites. But you got to get an antenna up and
not rely on the crap performance of the Chinese-made toys that they've given
us to emulate receivers. True, some stations are no longer there but others
have taken their places. Just because we are brainwashed and weary from the
mind-numbing domestic
propaganda that The Economy Is Everything Nothing Else Matters---not
EVERYWHERE in
the world is this mantra chanted. There are still places that believe in
sharing things for the sake of cultural enjoyment; and presenting news with
truth. These places will long believe in the good will of worldwide coverage
direct to a receiver as we once did when people used to huddle behind the
Iron curtain to hear Radio Free Europe on shortwave.
