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 6) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (3.3MB) (29:00)

     This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
From CHINA- China urged N Korea to not go through with its announced plan to test a nuclear weapon. A poll in Australia shows that an overwhelming majority do not believe the war on Iraq has reduced the threat of terrorism or spread democracy in the Middle East. The Iranian President said the US and its allies were marginalizing Iran and stimulating their self-destruction.
From NETHERLANDS- Tony Blair announced that the IRA has ended its campaign in N Ireland and had abandoned its military structures. A press review covering a new law in France that makes it a crime to deny that Turkey was guilty of genocide against Armenians between 1915 and 1923. In Palestine, fierce fighting broke out between Hamas and Fatah supporters after Hamas was unable to pay full salaries to security forces and other public employees.
From CUBA- The UN Human Rights envoy warned that the US could try to legitimize sneaking kidnapped suspects through Europe. Mexico has called on Bush to reject the plan to build 700 miles of fence along the border to prevent illegal immigration. Then an environmental study says that proposed fence would be a disaster to the biological diversity of the region.
From RUSSIA- A commentary on the looming possibility that the US will move forward with a series of attacks on Iran.
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 It will be posted Friday October 6th. 

  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 and Saturday at 11am(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < http://www.radio4all.net > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And the Partytown streams are great and informative- <http://www.partytown.com/radio >

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)

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
--Aristotle
