Rush and shortwave
Rush just mentioned being on shortwave a few minutes ago. Kind of an offhand
reference to WRNO, which did carry him years ago. He mentioned maybe looking into being on shortwave again. He may not realise that he is currently on AFN shortwave for the first hour, but it would be great if he could be on shortwave for the entire 3 hours. dxAce Michigan USA |

The best day of my International Broadcasting life was when XM started offering the BBC World Service 24/7 in HIFI, followed by Sirius with BBCWS News and WRN. I have my shortwaves for hobby purposes, my news craving has moved on. What will you do when XM and Sirius drop the BBC or "censor" it the way the satellite services do with CBC's As It Happens? I figure it will happen about the time that the US government comes for our radios. You seem very concerned about that, but not about the fact that anything that comes over a satellite can be censored or dropped by the well connected corporation that provides the satellite service. Like with TV satellite, just TWO big corporations control satellite radio. THEY control what you hear and don't hear. With shortwave, *I* control what I hear (well, me and the ionosphere, but at least the ionosphere can't be controlled by a big corporation or a government-yet). That alone makes shortwave superior to a corporate controlled, fee for service satellite media source. When the US government censors satellite as heavily as they do broadcast and cable media, deciding what gets to be aired and making sure there's nothing "seditious" there that might give the sheep ideas, shortwave will still be there, still giving UNFILTERED news from a multitude of countries (well, there's still the propaganda factor to consider, but at least shortwave content is not passed through a couple big all powerful entities), and still unblockable, uncensorable, and defying all attempts at jamming. I suspect the day will come when posessing a shortwave radio is a capital offense in the US, like it is in North Korea, and the ultimate in news sources is illegal to listen to precisely because the government cannot control it. Government can control MW/FM/broadcast TV, cable TV, and satellite services, but they can't control shortwave. On 5 Mar 2005 16:01:21 -0800, "RHF" wrote: DaviD - Oh So America-Centric of 'you' ! .

The regular radio censors itself. I didn't say I was going to sell all my radios. I'm keeping them handy. Right now, though, I'm really digging the freedom to tune into the Beeb or Radio Australia or Koln without any static. The American people are so freaked-out and scatterbrained already the government sees no need to be overtly restrictive on the flow of information. People don't even notice the bad news when it's right in front of them. Might as well go down in flames with full-bandwidth audio, don't you think? |

I suspect that Rush 93.7 would be about the same, just the opposite end of the spectrum. Who wants to hear the SAME GUY ranting on and on all the time, except followers of Gene Scott? That said, I suspect that Rush Limbaugh will have very little interest in him outside of the US. His commentary is very America centric, and he represents a political bloc that doesn't exist in other English speaking countries. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
I listen to the Coast Guard and other Utilities.
The SWBC bands are a very small fraction of the HF spectrum.

Certainly not enough for most countries to justify the expense of maintaining a fleet of 250 kW transmitters around the world. Just as I thought. You really don't care about shortwave, just about spreading your ideology. Well, go spread it someplace else, like talk.politics.misc, or alt.conspiracy. The same goes for Al Patrick, who is more interested in the narrow ideology of the kooks on shortwave rather than on getting the many varied viewpoints shortwave offers. I suspect that most of the people here aren't really concerned about shortwave as a hobby, just about finding another outlet for getting "news" that agrees with their worldview. Well, there's something on shortwave for everybody, but try stepping outside your closed little world and listening to viewpoints other than yours.

RD - Hello it's a Metaphor.

I don't understand why clear channel would want to broadcast on
shortwave. Shortwave is just a medium, and not many people have the equipment to receive on that medium in the US. There is a reason that shortwave is dominated by government and privately owned stations that are subsidized by non-advertising money. The reason is small audience and no advertisers equates to no profit. Broadcast FM & MW and satellite FM have a much much bigger base of listeners and clear channel will go where the advertising and subscription money is. I have to admit that it would indeed be humurous to have Rush Limbaugh holding forth next to bible pounders, survivalists, denizens of the Montana forest and those who are still sure the commies are still poised to invade the U.S. via Mexico. Rush has a loyal group of followers now so why risk losing some by switching to a relatively unkown medium like shortwave. It would make as much sense to broadcast on LW. I'm still completely confused by: "Substitute the Name "Rush Limbaugh" for any of the Top 25 AM/FM Talk Radio Talents. Put each of them on Three Hours a Day which equals Eight Regular Hosts Around-the-Clock Monday thru Friday with several other Hosts representing 'different voices' featured during the Week-End." |

Rush Limbaugh and his bible thumping oppressive bull**** he spews out
of his ass is laughable, but its scary such oppressive people exist who think they know whats best for you and your family while talking about how "liberals" are trying to control your life.. Lmao. |

The key phrase is that he WAS on shortwave. One not well run station
that closed and he was periodically rebroadcast on AFN. There would be no benefit to using shortwave shortwave - he would not gain any new audience. And some of his broadcast advertisers might think twice about doing business with him if he got the reputation of keeping company with programs like "The End is Coming" and "Modern Survivalism in the U.S." His somewhat condescending comment to the caller was more appeasement to keep him listening. It would be humorous to hear Rush ruminating over the Clinton-years-now-long-gone alongside the usual talent on 5mhz.

Unless WRNO was resurrected AFN feeds are the only ones I'm aware of.

From the Limbaugh site is a listing of all stations carrying his
program including one WRNO for 2 hours. To the best of my knowlege WRNO shortwave is silent. On which stations is the windy-one carried. http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/men...guest.all.html |
