You do realize, don't you, that the use of that phrase in almost
everyone of your posts shows just how immature you are?
You have a lot to offer this hobby, but why would anyone waste
their time with reading your stuff if this is what they run into
time after time?
for example:

http://shorterlink.com/?AQ8KP5 is even more telling.

I've had him killfiled for months for just this reason. He's
proven again and again that he's pathologically incapable of
engaging in discussion with anyone who disagrees with him without
presenting this sort of childish, bullying behavior.

It's sad, really.

Why don't you post something about short wave? Oh, you can't because you
spend all your time talking out your ass.

LMFAO... I don't really need any help, 'tard boy, I've already done most of the
things you wish to accomplish.


I wish to get arrogant,old and useless. Looks as though you tell the
truth.


LMFAO? I see you're still playing with your anus. Pervert.

Any suggestions?

I know how you feel. I tried to get some of my friends into shortwave,
but they just do not understand it. I guess it's because a shortwave
radio listener needs to work the radio. It takes a lot of patients to
sit there for hours.

As for myself I find it very exciting to be able to pick DX stations
from 1000's miles away. Also, I like the idea that shortwave radio is a
world radio. It belongs to all nations and all people and no one own
it. It's kind'na like the internet in that way.

If I hear a broadcast in a language that I do not understand, I try to
figure out which language it is, from which country it could be coming
from, and figure out what type of broadcast it is by listening to the
any familiar words.

If I hear a religious word then it is probably a religious program (even
if it is an another language, If I hear a word from our current news,
then it is probably a news program.

But their are also programs on culture, music and theater.

It is a great hobby in however way you enjoy it.

Yep..
Try explaining to an Ipod / XM Junky
how cool it is to hear music from 10,000
miles away thats richocheted off the Atmosphere / Ocean a few rimes:
- or hear BBC broadcasting from Multiple locations, clear as a bell, but with a
slight delay,
or hearing Bombers landing on Diego garcia, or Music from India & Turkey,
or listeing to a ten watt volmet trainsmitter on 3.845 ( USB ) describing Wind
speed, temp
or going to sleep,
listening to 11.175 ( USB)

Are you telling me you have a shortwave problem? Well, I'm telling you
that it's NOT a shortwave problem, but a shortwave SOLUTION. You're
lucky to have found a hobby you love. Pay no attention to what your
friends think!

The day might come when you get a little tired of listening to
shortwave. What should you do in that case? Just move on to some
commercially viable medium like satellite radio or your neighborhood FM
or MW station for a little while. After about five minutes of THIS,
shortwave will start to seem utterly FASCINATING again!!
