Hi all -
I just bought a small shortwave radio to take with me on research trips to Japan and elsewhere so that I can tune into BBC and other international English-language broadcasts while there, and I'm playing with it a little this afternoon. There's precious little international broadcasting in shortwave that's directed at North America, it seems (unlike when I was growing up when we used to sit up late, late at night at my grandfather's cabin and listen to BBC, Radio Italy, Japan, Taiwan, etc. Some of those broadcasts probably came from far off transmitters, but many I suspect were "local" shortwave repeaters in North America).
Anyway, I was fiddling around and came upon a couple weird stations - one at 13845 kHz carrying "Pastor Michelle Scott", apparently the daughter of Gene Scott with whom some might be familiar - and another station at 9480 kHz called "We Transmit World Wide" which was carrying a very weird program this afternoon.
Any other shortwave listeners here, and if so, what do you tune in to?
Todd
