Hello, and while I realize this ng is for the HF radio band, I'd like to
point out that VOR is still alive and well on the MW band at 1390 kHz in
the metro Washington DC area. Sincerely,


The RRS newsgroup is about DC to Daylight communications with
electromagnetism, there are no frequency boundaries. The article about
RT is BS. The station is still plugging away.

Hello, and I stand corrected since I haven't been on this ng much. The
term "shortwave" most often is taken (at least in the US) to refer to
the 1.7 MHz to 3 MHz and the HF (3 MHz to 30 MHz) portions of the EM
spectrum.

One additional comment is that Russia Today (RT) TV english language
broadcasts, like BBC World News and China Central TV, are also available
on many cable TV channels as well as XM/Sirius radio. Funny how the
hosts on those non-BBC channels often have British accents ;-). Sincerely,
