Hi Kiwis I'm TaimuRadiu and I'm here to tell you about my autistic passion, shortwave radio.
Shortwave radio is a key to global communication when the Internet goes down, and it will. Used to broadcast in high frequencies from about 3000 khz to 30 000 khz, it has a literal global reach and can be invaluable at times. Since, however, it cannot be tracked and quantified like how many people go to bigfatchickswithdicks.com, governmental global broadcasters have largely abandoned it. Those that remain are usually not in English, but those that are in English are ones that want to get their message out to shithole countries, like China, those in AFrica, and New Zealand. And, also because of the global reception of the broadcasts, religious broadcasters and hobbyists broadcast as well.
Let's say you get a shortwave radio. (Reviewbrah recommends the Tecsun PL-880. I've been told that's a fine radio, but it tends to drift. My weapon of choice is a C Crane Skywave SSB.) Certain models have prongs in the back that allow you to ground it and connect to an external antenna. If the receiver is of a good enough quality, it will NOT overload the radio and enable you to hear quite exceptional individuals. You will still need an external wire antenna to get in the dank DX (reception of distant stations)
Here are some truly exceptional individuals:
Brother R.G. Stair, the Overcomer. Probably one of the guys propping up US domestic shortwave radio. (It should be noted here that according to the FCC, shortwave radio stations in the United States are not allowed to broadcast to the domestic population, but they do anyway.) Noted for having several wrong predictions of doomsday, a few years ago he was arrested on charges of molesting and raping members of his congregation, probably the most notable being when he dragged a 12 year old girl up to the front and felt her boobs in front of everyone. So this man is a convicted pedophile, has a compound in South Carolina, and can't have any minors there.
Pastor Peter J Peters. Christian Identity (basically "we was kangz," but for white people) and very hard on the Jewish Question. He died like 10 years ago of kidney disease. Noted for being on the SPLC hate list, which he wore as a badge of honor. The successors to his "ministry" currently broadcast on WTWW.
Allan H Weiner - Not a bad man, per se, but he has lolcow tendencies. Probably the king of the pirates and he owns WBCQ in northern Maine, which recently finished building a 500 kilowatt system to broadcast the dreck from World's Last Chance Ministries, which propagates the obvious Biblical truth of the flat earth. I call him "king of the pirates" since his efforts to start a pirate station off the US shores, the MV Sarah, caused Reagan to extend the territorial waters of the USA in the 80s just to personally fuck with him.
(((Tony Alamo))), a "Christian" minister who claimed that he would be able to resurrect his wife in 90 days, is currently dead after serving his natural life in jail for raping a bunch of minors.
Not a lolcow but a lolstation, WWCR, from Nashville, Tennessee. Like nearly all US stations, the Overcomer has bought heavy time on it. Noted in the 90s for Art Bell suing them over the allegation from one of their program hosts, Ted Gunderson, alleging that he was a pedophile. Also on the SPLC hate list.
Alexander Emmerich Jones buys heavy amounts of time on WWCR. 12.160 mhZ on your shortwave dial every afternoon; 4.84 mhZ at night.
There are, of course, other broadcasters. There is Radio Havana-Cuba, which broadcasts the obvious truth of Communism and, due to their head, Arnie Coro, being incompetent, also sometimes is broadcast on the same frequencies as the Cuban numbers stations. The USA has counter-programming to RHC, Radio Marti, which is heavily jammed by Cuba, probably doesn't get out much to the island, but which I can hear very well more than a thousand miles away from where they're transmitting to.
Voice of Korea has that old school Cold War feel to it. Rages against the dotard Trump.
WRMI relays a bunch of stuff from Europe, including Radio Albania, which has the unique benefit of being as boring as it ever was. If you want to know about the Albanian harvests, there you go.
Reviewbrah broadcasts on WRMI, WBCQ, and WWCR, as well as others across the world. He's not a lolcow, but I enjoy his programming.
If you want actual content, I do like China Radio International, NHK World, and, may Allah forgive me, Radio New Zealand International.
If you want to listen to hams drone on, I gotcha fam. 14.313 mhZ is the frequency you want if you want to hear radio /pol/. A Canadian lolcow broadcasts on this frequency, for more info: http://www.ve7kfm.com/
And, of course, I must mention - pirates! Yes there are many pirates on the short waves, very few of which are lolcows except maybe for Radio YHWH, who has been busted several times and is pretty creepy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru9hkV7MMWo
Here are some resources for the aspiring shortwaver:
Glenn Hauser's World of Radio. The best newsletter full of info for the shortwave enthusiast. http://worldofradio.com/
HF Underground, for when you want to know about the pirates mateys. https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php
SWLing Post, for raw info and opinion on shortwave across the world https://swling.com/blog/
Want to listen online? Yo, go here https://sdr.hu/ - receivers from all across the world, hooked up to the Internet so your lazy ass doesn't have to go outside and try to listen to Alex Jones sell you the water filters to keep you from being a gay frog.
If you want to listen to some of the stations online, here:
http://wtww.us/ - WTWW, I like their music programming but when they say "Incredible Bible Teaching," that means no niggers.
http://www.wwcr.com/ - WWCR, for when you absolutely, positively, must go full lolcow.
https://www.wrmi.net - WRMI, which isn't as stupid. Broadcasts a wide variety of international programming. I personally like listening to Radio Prague in the mornings.
http://www.wbcq.com/ - WBCQ, plays some fine programming but Allan Weiner counts Brother Stair as a close personal friend, so yeah.
Enjoy!
