A weekly 30 minute review of news and opinion, recorded from a
shortwave radio. With times and freqs for listening at home. 2 files-
broadcast and slow-modem streaming. Free to rebroadcast. China,
Netherlands, Cuba, and Russia.
Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (October 10) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast
quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (4.9MB) (28:59)
(NEW! If you have access to Audioport.org there is a higher quality version
posted up there {26.7MB} http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-
info&uid=904&nav=&)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
>From CHINA- The Chinese government is angry over a new multi-billion
dollar US arms sale to Taiwan, and demands that Chinese nationals held at
Guantanamo Bay Prison be released. China's Premier says that the Chinese
economy is overall safe and sound. By Wednesday, China's Central Bank
cut interest rates and reserve requirements. The World Bank president says
that the G-7 or 8 is outmoded and needs to include Asian and Latin
American countries in setting global policy. India will launch its first lunar
orbiting spacecraft on October 22. President Bush signed a bill allowing US
civilian nuclear trade with India. Iran says it must produce its own nuclear
fuel because there are no guarantees that it can purchase it from the West.
A recent report projects that Iceland will lose its glaciers by the end of the
century.
>From NETHERLANDS- Radio Netherlands has announced that it will
eliminate shortwave broadcasts to North America on October 26. The
decision is based on their surveys that find very few listeners in N America.
If you ever listen to RN on shortwave, please let them know- by email to
letters [at] rnw.nl or send them a letter to Radio Netherlands Worldwide, PO
Box 222, 1200JG, Hilversum, The Netherlands.
Beside losing its glaciers, Iceland is losing its economy- Russia is going to
bail them out- the question is "what will they be asked for in return?" This
past June Irish voters rejected the Lisbon Treaty, which would have further
established the power of the European Union. Several serious EU politicians
think that the "No" campaign was financed by the CIA to inhibit EU
development.
>From CUBA- A US Judge ordered the release of 17 prisoners from
Guantanamo Bay Prison, which the Justice Department has appealed.
Protestors outside The US military base in Honduras have demanded the
base be closed. A review of the assistance given to Cuba after the
devastating hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
>From RUSSIA- A commentary on the recently deteriorating relations
between the US and Russia.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line
at-http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves
I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available
at http://radio.mediageek.net
All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to
rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in the
last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If you just
want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming version- lower
sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a high-
speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow
connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will
play swell in any mp3 player application (RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime,
iTunes, etc) you have on your computer.
This program will be aired on Friday afternoon at 4:30pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z
Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
There are several other streams that work better- Freak Radio Santa Cruz
now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from or iTunes
(search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at
And Radio For Peace International at
I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I am
still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into
this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting
this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production costs. You can do so
through the website. Many thanks to those that have donated! No Guilt!
