I will be so VERY happy when this election is over, and this newsgroup
returns to discussion of shortwave radio. There are other newsgroups
dedicated to discussions of politics. Why has this newsgroup been
hijacked?

For me the reason is the media behavior in this election in which 99%
are for one candidate. An exception would be the SW stations in the USA
which carry alternative programming. Other nations of socialist bent are
pro Obama. The Arab nations are pro Obama. Nations where Muslim is the
ruling religion are pro Obama. See a pattern there?

I have been listening, have you?

Looking forward to peace and quiet on November 5th.

Feel free to make an on topic post. It is all signal to noise so if you
don't like what you read then post on topics you do want to read about.
Start a new thread. Ask a question. Make an observation. Post about what
you heard.

Yep, and I've said it before, no one is stopping anyone from posting anything
about SW radio, no one.

My feeling is that there are leaches and lurkers who only want to suck up what
they can without too much effort, yet most rarely post anything at all related
to SW.
