rec.radio.shortwave demographic
I was listening to Alan Weiner World Wide earlier and his topic was the WBCQ
listener demographic. As I listened to those calling in, it was apparent that everyone was, for the most part, forty and over. I am twenty five and I wonder what the average is here on this group. Brian |

Chronologically, or mentally? Good point. :-) The last time this question came up, the average (median) chronological age was somewhere in the forties.

I am 34 and have been listening to shortwave broadcasts since early
80s. I live in Istanbul, Turkey. My favorite was listening to pirate radios and radio liberty broadcasts to central asia. In cold war years, there were so many pirate radios targeting Turkey. Recently, as far as I know, there is no pirate station on AM in Turkish. I think it is because of more democracy we have. Almost every opininon can be declared easily in newspapers, private radios stations etc. when compered with 80s. Probably, that's one of the reasons why the number of shortwave broadcasters decreases all over the world, more widely accepted democracy. Another reason is the ideas and ideologies of the people are not completely different, again when compered with 80s. Hence, they don't have the desire to declare their own ideas. So far, Capitalism won the war and the need to long distance shortwave broadcasts decreased:) (an example: A unique interpretation of communism lived in Albania before the collapse of communism and radio tirana had a very powerful 3-4 hours of daily radio broadcast in Turkish which could be listened all over Turkey like a local radio. Now, r. tirana broadcasts in turkish is for 30 minitues. Because, they don't have different things to tell to the world... "Brian" wrote in message hlink.net...

My wife or husband Bruce (however you prefer to phrase it) is 5' 9" tall, weighs 248 lbs., 51 yrs. old. We are both shortwave listeners and do listen to WBCQ occassionally. I haven't had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Weiner but with a name like that I'm sure interested in getting to know him better. What time does he come on? No pun intended! :) Melvin |
