It is financed by the TV licence fee, not Govt taxes. And that license fee is a tax by the government, just as a vehicle registration fee is a tax by the government in the US. |

It was on "Write On" a couple of weeks ago that they are now sharing the Prague transmissions with a Czech language station and are limited in their hours.

"Tom Holden" wrote: "David" wrote in message news ![]() The BBC in the car? I borrowed a Sirius receiver from my employer for a holiday trip from Toronto to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, a distance of some 1600 km (1000 miles) each way, roughly 35 hours on the road, and enjoyed listening alternately to CBC Radio One on Sirius 137 and BBCWS on Sirius 141. It was pretty much uninterrupted, except for the tunnels through the Blue Ridge Mountains. While the audio quality sucked at the low bitrates used, I was surprised at how much the distortion was masked by car noise and how accustomed I became. Now to keep dxAce from complaining that this is not a posting about shortwave, I took my KA-1103 along with every intention of doing some SWL - never turned it on! Seems to me that alternatives to shortwave as a means of delivery are legitimate topics for rrs, since so many users of shortwave are migrating to other means of communication. ;-) Fine I'll answer for him. This is not about short wave and it doesn't belong in this new group. If I want to read about "other means of communication" I'll join another news group. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Uses transmitters, antennas, request lines and bumper stickers. Just because it doesn't conform to your quaint notions don't mean it ain't real. |

First off I don't read articles posted by people that advocate the over throw of the USA government so I don't read David. Second the news group subject matter is AMBCB, FMBCB and shortwave DXing. The news group is primarily about short wave though. This will be a huge surprise to some very confused individuals but the FAQ goes on for pages talking about, get this, short wave. Now I know something along the lines OF THE NEWS GROUPS NAME just might escape some peoples attention but that is another story. If you want to be on topic then post about a DX'ing experience, antennas, radios, QSL's, your shack and equipment, propagation or questions about the same. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

You are a raving paranoid loony. I have never advocated anything not specified and codified in the Constitution. I mean that in a friendly way... '' What is rec.radio.shortwave for? As stated above this group was created for USENETers to have a place to discuss the radio monitoring hobby. This group is not moderated, however 'serious' arguments and any kind of flame wars are strongly discouraged. That is not to say that genuine disagreement and discussion of differing opinions is not welcome. We only ask that you keep the tone friendly, and in the spirit of international cooperation upon which the hobby is founded. This group is intended to be a place where ANY radio monitoring topic can and should be discussed. We are happy to hear from posters who listen to any part of the radio or microwave spectrum, from DC to daylight. We discuss topics of almost any kind, ranging from (but not limited to) shortwave broadcasting, DXing small or distant shortwave stations, utility and teletype monitoring, military eavesdropping, station schedules, QSLing sw broadcasters, spectrum usage, equipment design and modifications, antennas, receiver reviews and recommendations, and many more. Despite what the newsgroup name might imply, we definitely DO NOT limit discussions to shortwave only. Any radio-related topics are welcome.'' http://www.faqs.org/faqs/radio/monitoring/introduction/ |
