John,

Although I am not a cheerleader for Public Broadcasting, I agree with
you about having many news sources. It's a reason why I listen to World
Band.

But it's not the only one. I like messing about with antennas and
software to improve reception/dsp on my Ten-Tec Rx-320. If I did not
enjoy that, I'd be more than happy with podcasts via WRN.

When it comes to SWL, process is as important as product.


Me too. I'm an unrepentant knob twister....
But I do enjoy the programs on Radio Australia, Radio China and Radio
Havana and of course the Beeb.

Don't forget Radio Prague. It's the rare broadcast that does not refer
with contempt to its erstwhile Communist overlords and/or the Nazis.
Listening to the people who lived through such times puts things into
perspective.

And some of the female newsreaders have sultry voices. Woo. Woo.

As for the BEEB, its editorialists are as bad as ours. But unlike our
MSM, it still has correspondents all over the world. For pure
reporting, they're hard to beat.
