No, it's rec.radio.SHORTWAVE. It's not rec.radio.fm. It's not
rec.radio.cb. It's not rec.radio.vhf and it's not rec.radio.satellite. It's rec.radio.SHORTWAVE. |

Please post this to another, more appropriate newsgroup. Steve This Newsgroup is totally appropriate. The satellite channels include International broadcasters. But it's not 'real' radio, and it certainly isn't shortwave. Get your head out of your ass, 'tard boy. dxAce Michigan USA |

Yes, satellite radio is off topic for a shortwave group, but then
let's keep this in perspective: some of the threads which seem to attract the most response in this group are off topic. I mean, what the heck does Winston Churchill's opinion of Muslims have to do with shortwave? It's certainly further off topic than is satellite radio. And how about the recent thread on British police? Geez, it's the boundlessly idiotic threads like these which seem to attract more response than manure attracts flies. With all the mindless and usually ill-informed political ranting on this group, a question about satellite radio doesn't seem too great a transgression. Sure, there's an alt.radio.satellite group for the satellite radio enthusiasts, just as there's probably a multitude of alt.politics.idiots groups for the more pervasive type of off-topic postings to be found in rec.radio.shortwave. |
wrote in message ups.com... I think that's an excellent idea. Steve Yes Steve I agree, but how do we open up a rec.radio.satellite newsgroup? Lets go for it but I haven't a clue how to do it... but PLEAS can someone do it or tell us how to. Many thanks Mike |

Yes, you're right; we won't be able to keep the off topic posts in general from appearing without becoming a moderated group. However, the satellite radio issue is something that can be worked out by creating a home for it. If enough people are interested, I'll start reading up on news.groups about what I need to do to get a formal RFD together for the creation. --Mike L. |
