I also recommend sticking to shortwave topics here.
I also recommend kill filtering any of these off-topic posters. It'll help you weed through the trash postings when finding interesting shortwave radio information. There's been a lot of good stuff posted in here regarding shortwave radio. Kill filters can almost be your best friend in here.

I started reading rec.radio.shortwave hoping to gain some information about -- of all the crazy notions - shortwave radio. I'm reading quite a lot of political debate which I think is great, but before I jumped into the fray with any questions or comments I figured it'd be polite to introduce myself to explain my interest and to assure y'all that I'm not some random troll. I know usenet isn't without its games so you don't have to believe anything I write; my hopes are that sincerity might be enough proof. I'm a former Navy submarine electronics technician (both communications and navigation) with an interest in the construction, operation and maintenance of sound-reproducing equipment, mainly guitar amplifiers and radio receivers. I'm interested in learning anything you can relay about shortwave and will probably mostly read what you have to offer, but with all this political talk I'm sure I'll be tempted to put in my two cents. I look forward to reading and learning from this group. Welcome to the newsgroup. The population that post here, other than the juvenile Trolls, are mostly middle age and older males that have strong opinions on just about anything. The number of political posts will decline after the elections but this is a popular newsgroup that ranges 100 to 200 posts a day normally and when the political posts drop off something else will take its place so be prepared to use the kill file and just ignore the threads that do not interest you. As a warning if you just post political or other off topic I'll just kill file you. If you show genuine interest in the hobby with posts to that effect and post political stuff I'll probably keep reading you. I think you can see where I'm coming from with this thought. |
