Dear "D. of N.,"

The "Hallelujah - Send Me Money" boys are the easiest broadcasts to
hear as most originate within the United States. They have fairly
powerful transmitters as there are enough people actually sending them
money to allow for this. (It is my opinion - and my opinion only - that
"getting into heaven" has absolutely nothing whatsoever with how much
money you send these people, but other peoples' opinions differ.)

There are still many far more interesting broadcasts available within
the established frequency (meter) bands but if you are interested in
"pirate" broadcasts, try tuning slowly from about 6800 to 7000 kHz late
at night, especially on holidays and holiday weekends. Patience is
required here as these transmissions are weak and erratic. Also take
note that to hear them properly you will generally have to use SSB -
lower or upper, depending on the broadcaster.

Best,

Joe

HI. I'm just wondering why most of the shortwave stations I find are
gospel stations. I was hoping also to find, odd underground
broadcasts, wacky, paranoid, offbeat, the kind of thing that is off the
beaten path. Are there things like this on shortwave radio, and if so,
can you tell me what's out there?
