"pak" wrote in message ... i just started listening to shortwave again after being away from it for aobut 10 years. I seem to notice that the short wave bands are totally dominated by nothing but religious subjects and shows. Am I just listening at the wroing time or wrong bands or does anyone agree with this observation? Welcome to the world of shortwave broadcast. Yes, there are way too many religious broadcasters on shortwave nowadays, most of them from the US beaming programs to primarily US audiences even though the FCC says it's illegal to broadcast to US audiences on shortwave. However, there are many other english-language programs from other stations out there, you just have to search through and find them. When you find them, the programming can be entertaining. 7415 evenings has WBCQ from Maine with various types of programs, even though they also carry religious programming. The reason there is so much religious programming on shortwave is because the only groups that can reliably raise the money needed to air such programs on shortwave stations are religious groups, not to mention the ambition of spreading their message to a worldwide audience. So you can either search for the non-religious programs to listen to, or else listen to utility stations like I do. All the religious programming is probably one reason I never really got into SWBC listening and just stuck with the utes. -- Tom Sevart N2UHC Frontenac, KS http://www.geocities.com/n2uhc |
