    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 (March 5) 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- China currently has 11 commercial nuclear power plants 
running, with plans for 57 more underway- where all the uranium will come 
from? Brazil has rebuffed a US appeal for new sanctions against Iran, and 
Iran blames the US for creating fear that their nuclear development is for 
weapons.
>From NETHERLANDS- Radio Netherlands has eliminated shortwave 
broadcasts to North America. 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.
The European Union has released a ten year plan to beat recession and 
stay competitive with Brazil, India, and China in technology. The Italian 
government TV network has pulled political talk shows off the air in the run 
up to regional elections.
>From CUBA- Large demonstrations have been occurring in Rome in 
opposition to Prime Minister Berlusconi. There are accusations that the US 
State Department tried to block probes into Blackwater's massacres. 
Afghanistan has banned the news media from covering Taliban attacks. 
Russia is angry over the increase in heroin production in Afghanistan. The 
Washington Post reports that the current surge in Afghanistan is a prelude 
to larger military campaigns. The United Nations General Assembly has 
passed a resolution calling for honest investigations into possible war 
crimes during the siege of Gaza by Israel at the start of 2009.
>From RUSSIA- Israel will stay in the West Bank even if a peace treaty is 
signed, according to the Prime Minister. A commentary on the global 
expansion of NATO and the role of Russia. A commentary on the 
relationship between the US and Georgia.
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 < http://www.kzyx.org >
There are several other streams that work better- < 
http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this 
program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < 
feed://http://www.radio4all.net/responder.php/podcast/podcast.xml?series=o
utFarpress+presents > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.org >

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! (maybe a little)
