I agree. People have the right to pay for and say what they want on the air, but at the same time, I wonder if the FCC should investigate if it's really in the public's best interest and good to have dozens of religious broadcasts on the shortwave bands all at the same time, for the majority of the day. |

Dear Tom, There are suckers born every minute, as P.T.said. As long as people continue to send these characters money (as they encourage the belief that, if one sends them money "to allow their message of 'good news' to be sent 'to all the world,'" the senders will "go to heaven"), these people will stay on the air and, in fact, will increase the number and power of their transmissions. It's a VERY profitable industry, making money off the least sophisticated people who are grasping at straws. All religions and religious organizations solicit money; they have no other way of continuing their existence. Your local legitimate groups and organizations fulfill a seemingly basic need in humanity and, therefore, return much to people in exchange for their money. The so-called "religious" broadcasters do not. They may send a contributor some worthless trinkets but mostly, if one contributes, they then ask for more and more and more money. ("Buy this book, buy that book, buy this item, buy that item, and send me more money money money!") This allows them to increase their broadcasts (think about it - it's a pretty pitiful "religion" that needs constant ADVERTISING to keep itself going!) and, not incidentally, to allow these broadcasters to have a VERY nice lifestyle. What's the answer? Do not listen to these broadcasts and certainly do not send them even one cent! Your posting here, though "small potatoes" in comparison to the might of these organizations, is a very good step. We have to let at least the readers here know of these fraudulent and inherently evil broadcast organizations. Thank you for your post. Obviously, I agree with you one hundred percent. Joe |

I believe I read somewhere that it is a consequence of our faith-based administration. Most countries don't grant shortwave broadcasting licenses to private organizations. Most shortwave broadcasters are government controlled international P.R./propaganda operations. The Bush administration open up licensing in the shortwave bands to private organizations in the US. Thus the crowd of jammering yahoos eminating from this "nation, under God". -- rb |

I don't know why Religious Freaks are the ones with the most number of SW radio programming. Perhaps the hucksters of other types haven't discovered the magic of SW? In any case, they've been a fact of life on SW for many decades. Most of the religious broadcasts of old were more respectable. I have pleasant memories of HCJB's programs. Many were well thought out and very interesting, even if I didn't agree with them. In fact, not long after WRNO made its debut on SW (remember that Rock of the World format?) WYFR happened. And in the scheme of SW broadcasters, WYFR is tame. After that, the real nutcases took to the air, and it's never been the same since. I wish others would find a way to maintain a business in SW broadcasting. One would think a nationwide science program of some sort would be an easy sell. But nobody's doing it. I guess advertisers don't know it exists because "nobody is there", and nobody does it because advertisers don't think there is a market. Jake Brodsky |

And also of non-commercial FM, we might add. Here's what I think is the reason. Some branches of Christianity put pressure on their members to do missionary work. Now really doing missionary work is hard; you have to meet people one-on-one and persuade them to listen to your message. So it's a lot easier to just donate money to people who are doing missionary work, and consider that your obligation is met. And the broadcasters have become expert at convincing their donors that the world is full of people who are just dying to hear the Christian message, in English yet, on shortwave radio. -- jhhaynes at earthlink dot net |

These broadcasts have nothing to do with freedom of religion. They are scam artists milking the tax-free status of "churches". Tax the churches and these confidence racketeers would disappear. -j |

Yesterday afternoon,the Wal Mart store food departmental was out of my
favorite Beer.(that cheap Southpaw Beer,but it's brewed by Millers,once you get used to it,it isn't so bad) So,on my way home from the food store,I stopped off at the liquor store and I bought a bottle of Whiskey.(because I like to spike each and every one of my Beers.That divorced woman next door to me,she caught on real quick) Then I stopped off at the Exxon gas station/convenience place at the top of the hill from me for two six packs of Southpaw Beer. My friennnnds call me Two Gunnnnn,,,,,,, cuhulin |

why are there nothing but religious freaks on right now? This is really becoming a sad situation. It's NOT that the religious types are broadcasting; as others have said, everybody has a right to say their piece, even if it is nonsense or a scam huckstering. The problem is that these types used to be immersed in a good number of competing signals of all sorts of political views from a wide range of different countries or entertainment and information from well-run broadcasting entities. Now just about all these other signals have disappeared. I still listen to SW every day. But the choices I grew up enjoying are mostly gone. If it wasn't for Radio Netherlands, R. Australia, CRI, and Taiwan, there'd be practically nothing. We can get a few hours of BBC from their African and other services, if propagation allows, but lately I've been trying to scan the bands and get only the religious programs in English. I suspect that most of the other-language signals I hear are also religious. I have been wanting to give a good SW radio to a friend of mine who has expressed an interest in SW. But I now hesitate because I cannot tell him much about what he might enjoy hearing. Personally, I don't listen much during "prime evening hours" here in the US; there's usually enough on TV that those times are eaten up (though sometimes I'll have RN on at the same time as early-evening TV). I listen in the early morning and late night. Are there still a wide-enough range of international broadcasters on in the 0000-0400 UT timeframe that a decent SW portable on the whip alone will get enjoyable signals with worthwhile listening? My friend doesn't watch TV, so if he listens then, would he get enough out of the radio to make it interesting? However, he spends his time on other activities, and probably won't sit around and listen for hours. That latter also mitigates against trying to get new listeners into SW. Everybody already has more than enough to fill their time. 73, Will |

I thought the quiet bands were due to the low sunspot cycle, but I just changed antennas and found there's still a ton of stuff to hear. The variety surprised me. For the first time in months I can hear R. Sweden, R. Portugal, RNZI, R. Veritas, AIR...nothing super rare yet but lots more than just the main powerhouses. I miss some of my old favorites like R. Denmark and Tahiti but there's enough to keep me busy for now. Tahiti's been gone for quite a while now, hasn't it? OK, so I'm being lazy today and don't want to look it up! dxAce Michigan USA |

OK, so I'm being lazy today and don't want to look it up! Yeah, a long time, in the early nineties I suspect. I was just being nostalgic. I saw it in my old log book and started thinking about it. I use the interval signal of R. Denmark as my cell phone ringtone. ---- |
