Thanks for that response. I find that wild. They're licensed by the FCC yet
they can't broadcast towards the US. What about the Christian broadcasters? Are
they aimed outside the US too? They always seem to have better signals. WWCR
booms in every night, all night.

Thanks again, Bill

BILL,

The Christian Broadcasters who can be heard so well in th USofA
have one Target Listener and they Focus on Him Alone. Therfore
all their Antennas at Directed to the Heavens and Beyond.

We are one of the few countries in the world that has private broadcasting.
As such, the FCC realized early on that if shortwave broadcasts were allowed
to be targeted to the domestic population, there would be room for
relatively few stations and those would not best serve the local communities
as radio stations wee intended to do. The regs. state that shortwave
broadcasting stations can not target the US. That includes the religious
stations. Some are braver than others about skirting the rules. The
religious broadcasters are the worst about that as they can always scream
religious persecution if the Feds ride them to much. The whole intent was,
as I said previously, to have local, limited coverage stations so as to
serve the interests of the local community. The generally limited reach of
AM broadcast stations fit that role though, with the recent corporate buyup
of local stations, that is not really the case anymore. Up until recently,
the government took a dim view of the media (radio, TV, newspapers, ect)
being controlled by just a few. This was to prevent mass propaganda and
promote the dissemination of varying viewpoints. They have been deregulating
this lately. Probably do to money.

It's been my assumption that the established radio powers were behind
the prohibition of US domestic SW broadcasting. The domestic SW
programming ban limited competition. And nearly all the stations were
affiliated with, or owned by one of the networks.

Jesus needs a radio to listen in on his followers? I thought he was
omniscient! Guess not...
