Other DXing newsgroups? (to avoid politics/religion)
Hi, I'm a British citizen based near Cheltenham, UK. I'm trying to find a newsgroup to discuss shortwave DXing, but this newsgroup seems to be full of American politics. I'm not American, I don't plan on being American, so this is just irritating noise to me, and what with me having neither the ability nor desire to vote in the USA, I doubt that the political posters care about me one jot. Also I don't DX American stations, I prefer European, African or Asian stations (US stations seem mostly religious and I'm a humanist [agnostic/atheiest with morals] so that all goes over my head). What other DXing newsgroups exist on Usenet? Is there one more skewed towards European, African or Asian DXing? (Don't get me wrong; America is a lovely place, been there on business and holiday several times, nice people etc. I'm just not interested and democratically unable to be involved with the politics, and have no interest in religion). -- Andrew Oakley andrew/atsymbol/aoakley/stop/com |

If the United States goes down in flames, we're taking UKOGBNIW with us. |

Check the Yahoo news groups
http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Hobb..._and_Ham_Radio http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Hobb...adio/Shortwave Many are moderated to avoid the nonsense you mentioned. This newsgroup is unmoderated so anyone, anywhere, can post whatever they please -- and they do. But most are very kind and alert the reader with OT or the header sez it all. -- CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be ! "David" wrote in message ...
