Wouldn't the BBC's -much- wider relatively recent distribution through
numerous FM/public radio outlets account for the increase in
listenership here? It seems to make sense that, if you make something
regularly available to a significant enough number of people, a
certain percentage are going to find it their liking, esp. on public
radio.

Exactly. If BBC listenership is at an all-time high, a big part of the
reason is simple availability from sources _other_ than shortwave
(listenership via shortwave is rapidly decreasing). One of the reasons the
BBC finds favor is that they provide coverage (on just about any subject) in
much more detail than do U.S. broadcasters with the exception of NPR.
However, it's important to keep in mind that sheer high volume of material
on a given subject doesn't, in itself, mean that the product is
"trustworthy." The extent of coverage does not necessarily have anything to
do with accuracy or trustworthiness.

As far as U.S. commercial broadcasting is concerned, there isn't enough
serious coverage of _any_ subject to even allow a listener to judge much of
anything about the reportage except that it's brief. Public broadcasters,
the BBC, NPR and so on, do tend to provide much more detail and analysis of
a very wide range of subjects. It's kind of interesting (and only that) to
note that, for example, NPR News is a far bigger _radio_ news organization
than CBS, ABC etc. _combined_. Broadcast radio news (network) in the United
States ceased to be an important or even serious activity in commercial
radio in the late 1950's. Note that nothing I've written here has anything
at all to do with the truthfulness or reliability of _any_ news
organization. I have not cast aspersions on any broadcaster, so no need to
reply as though I did. I also got up on the wrong side of the bed this
morning :-).

Why use a SW radio? What uses are they for the average person?

1. it's free

2. no commercials

3. it's relaxing for a technical person to come home and turn dials
after a day of working with computers

4. it's a challenge to get those far-away stations and to make the
best antenna you can

5. just try to listen to "streaming audio" on days like 9/11/01,
everyone else is doing the same thing. With radio, everyone can be
tuned to the same station and everyone can still hear what's going on.

6. really good programs sometimes.

7. interesting music, from greece, brazil, africa, asia

8. you don't need to be near any big cities. You can visit your
inlaws in Podunk and there's always something to do. If you're
staying there a while, put up a big wire. Ask them first.

9. it's a unique listening experience with lots of interesting sounds
coming through to your radio, if you have the kind of spouse that is
not bothered by them

10. It saves time. You can get news bulletins before the bush
propaganda machine changes its meaning and it is put on TV the next
day for your neighbors to consume. Then later when the news reports
(or not) that the meaning or facts had been changed, it doesn't matter
to you because you didn't have to rely on biased, discredited sources
like the bush administration.

11. it's something you can enjoy at sea, on the beach in Bali, in the
Nevada desert, abroad during an attempted coup wondering what the hell
is going on outside, or in the privacy of your home.

12. if you live in the United States, you can get in touch with
what's going on in with the 96% of the people who don't. I worked at
news radio stations and know that international news is considered
unimportant in my country, it's even generally known that people will
turn the channel if international news is a subject. people here just
aren't interested. But if you're one of those people that could care
less about the Laci Petersen murder trial then stick up your middle
finger and turn on the shortwave.

13. screw the 'average person'

11. it's something you can enjoy at sea, on the beach in Bali, in the
Nevada desert, abroad during an attempted coup wondering what the hell
is going on outside, or in the privacy of your home.

Remember the attempted coup by communist hardliners during the last days
of the Soviet Union? The Russians had to rely on SW to tell them what
was going on.


a guy i worked with was in Beijing during the suppression of the
student actions in Tiananmen Square after Gorbachev visited China.
They tried to take his passport... he said he was sure glad he had
that shortwave. I figure an 'average' person could relate to that,
being surrounded by cops in a hotel and not knowing what the hell is
going on outside.

Interesting item in The NY Times Magazine:
- Theres a Pretty boring Column called " The Ethecist"
- About Ethics .. Nothinig really interesting..
In Any case..

In the column Sunday, A guy who is a Republican indicates he & " freinds" are
sending money
to a Democratic candidate, in the hopes he will win in the primaries,
- But then be so weak he'll be defeated by "W" in the fall

- Sounds like this is possibly where Deans $$$ is coming from..

I have to go along with that. Although a number of BBC programs have
been copied by the U.S. networks they always seem to be dumbed down,
even the ones that were dumb to start with. My favourite is the BBC "Is
it Buoyant?" which on CBS has become "Will it Float?". I guess 'they'
figured that buoyant was too difficult a word for North Americans to

Yes, I do mean my authorities, which can then inform yours.

...... and can you tell me what laws have been broken here? Having an
opinion that differs from old bushy boy isn't illegal as far as i'm aware.
At least, not in the UK anyway. Your the funiest colonial i've come accross
in many a year! :o)

You have broken no laws or rules but at the same time shown that someone
needs to keep an eye on you.

Ever been psychologically evaluated?

Considering forwarding this to the authorities??? That's simply
hilarious. I suggest that YOU get back on your meds. Valium might
help a little, but probably shouldn't be used long-term. A
psychiatrist can advise you. Weekly visits to a counselor will do
wonders for you, too. Best of luck for a fairly speedy recovery.
Remember, there's no shame connected with mental illness. So don't
hesitate to get the help you so obviously need.

About my thoughts too...
Erm... Telemon, just a thought. Are you a creationist?

I have had counseling and I have been evaluated Don. The counseling and
evaluations were part of a curriculum. Never been on ³Meds² and I do not
do drugs so no thanks for the Valium. How about yourself? You sound like
you have great familiarity with ³Meds² and Valium.

You would have to be a real whack job yourself if you think what Les
wrote is OK.

Blow all the conspiracy theories you have in one rant? Is the political
discussion boring you already?

I do not know why you would ask anyone a question of this type because
with your imagination you could assign to me whatever answer you desire.
