Re: [Swprograms] OT: Help for struggling shortwave stations
David - One person you should connect with is Robert Kipp, who is the
driving force for Radio St. Helena's shortwave presence, brief that it
is.
Two other names I would suggest you connect with -- Steve Canney, of
the ODXA, who has for years volunteered his own effort to encourage
CFRB management to keep CFRX on the air; their situation is different
from domestic tropical broadcasters but could provide some ideas into
how to encourage a broadcaster to stay on the air using
shortwave...when its heart may not be in it.
I would also think that HCJB's Allen Graham might also be a worthwhile
contact. Part of Allen's focus in recent years has been to support
local radio in Latin America...he might have some ideas.
You might also want to connect with members of some of the more
DX-oriented lists --those members who are the most enthusiastic when
it comes to dialoguing with stations (even if for just a QSL). They
might have some technical contacts at various stations that would be
good places to start.
My two cents on the idea.
