Yes, I know it's April 1st, which makes everyone suspicious (with good
reason).
Ten years ago today, the swprograms list was begun on the Topica list
server. The list was hatched out of a discussion at the Winter SWL Fest
regarding a need for a vehicle to share information on programming topics
relating to international broadcasting that would be more specialized than
the typical limitation to frequencies and air times in most SWL e-mail
based lists in existence at the time.
Many thanks to all who have contributed over the years...you've certainly
helped inform me about the world of international broadcasting as it has
evolved over those years.
Think about it...back in 1998 we still had the BBC available targeting
North America for most of the day; DW had North America-targeted broadcasts
in the evening; RCI filled our evenings with "The World At Six" and "As It
Happens".
Hopefully we'll continue to have things to talk about here, though I
suspect, for many of us, listening to this programming via shortwave
happens less frequently than it did back then.
Thanks also for everyone's patience and understanding in helping this
remain a civilized discussion without the flame wars that plague many
Internet forums and e-groups.
