then what about when I post AM broadcast band dx?

That's still about radio listening, but not about shortwave.

I guess I would call that "sort of off topic and sort of on-topic".

I will post my shortwave moniotored stations, but have decided to include the
AM broadcast band in my listings also.

I will, of course, post other non-shortwave frequencies that are
scanner-related in the scanner newsgroups, but I'm not aware of any newsgroup
for AM broadcast band dx'ing.

so in my opinion, the shortwave newsgroup is the closest thing to it.

And the two bands do run into each other and now even overlap because of the
extended to 1710 khz am broadcast band.

When I was into shortwave dx'ing years ago, the frequencies from 1610 khz to
1710 khz were considered "shortwave frequencies"

while 535 khz to 1610 khz was considered "medium frequencies" or "the am
broadcast band"

And yes, I'm aware that technically, shortwave" doesn't start until 3 MHZ.

However, since 1610 khz was the end of the standard am broadcast band, all of
the shortwave recievers that I saw at the time (that included the band)
considered "1610 khz through 30 mhz as "shortwave".

And if you wanted to tune to 1700 khz, you had to turn the band selector from
"AM" to "shortwave" to listen to it.

plus not posting the frequencies between 1610 khz and 3 mhz, since they're not
really "shortwave" leaves out a lot of stations that a lot of people consider
as "shortwave" because of the types of transmissions on those frequencies.

and to complicate the matter even further, years ago, ytou might have heard
something like "Radio Nederlands" between 1610 khz and 1710 khz" or some sort
of station of that type, and now today, you might hear just what is considered
stations in the regular AM broadcast band on those frequencies, Georgia,
Tennesee, etcetera.

Don't worry at all about posting anything here related to radio.

ANYONE who gets someone kicked from their ISP is a loser and should have
their butt kicked. Since when is losing AOL a bad thing? :-)

I've been with AOL since I was reading it on a DOS-based laptop in 1991. They
won't kick me. But Steve's lies and fabrications sometimes cause them to turn
off my newsgroup posting privileges for a day. I'm glad you agree he's a loser.

He is.

I never said that now did I. besides, can you prove Steve did it? I didn't
thing so. People who tattle-tale to an ISP are belly draggers of the first
degree.

What makes you think Steve wouldn't? He's done some pretty incredilbe things
over the past three years of terrorizing this NG.

Personally, I feel that people that HAVE to forge addrsses like you do, are
also pretty much on the low-end of the evolutionary ladder.

Again, you have absolutely no proof that he did it.

Forged? It's fudged for the spam bots stupid. Most intelligent people can
figure it out which explains why you can't. And AOL for newsgroups, please.

Michael,

Damn, you're paranoid. I don't think anybody convinced AOL to "turn you
off" yesterday.

You almost certainly exceeded the number of posts allowed by an AOL account
to newsgroups within a specific time-frame. They do that to discourage
people from uploading "warez" (a full CD would typically be broken up into
over 100 partial files) to binary newsgroups through AOL.

You were on the right track earlier -- it's time to switch ISP's.
