In my travels abroad I have observed that even inexpensive "boom boxes" have at
least one short-wave band. Knowing where to tune is a horse of a different
color. During WWII they dropped leaflets with such info.

Interesting segment on the historic benefit of shortwave broadcasting to tyrant
ruled areas but how relevant is it today when democratic governments stopped
using shortwave as a communications device on a regular basis? Who in the
Ukrainian world or Russia knows where to tune in the shortwave spectrum for
such new broadcasting activities?
Maybe too little too late?

The BBC Radio 4 program “The World at One� today had a

the “wireless� — to penetrate sequestered
locations with information where all else, including social media and the
Internet fails. Maybe the tiniest bit of intelligence in this regard is just
starting to be realized again in the wider world of communications.

into this 30 minute program. John
