Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (July 14) 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, Spanish National Radio, Radio Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
From CHINA- China said that sanctions against N Korea for launching test missiles last week would only increase tensions and is an overreaction. The Israeli attacks on Palestine continued to intensify and then Israeli troops moved into Lebanon following more soldier kidnappings.
From SPAIN- On Monday Iraq's Prime Minister pleaded for all Iraqis to act as brothers and stop the murders based on sectarianism- the government also asked the UN to lift immunity from local law for US soldiers. There was a large conference of European and African leaders in Morocco to find solutions to the illegal migration of poor Africans to Europe.
From NETHERLANDS- A press review on the assassination of a leading Chechen rebel, Shamil Basayev, by Russian hitmen in the days prior to the opening of the G-8 conference in St Petersburg. Terrorists who set off bombs in subways of Mumbai India were most likely a militant group which opposes Indian rule in the divided Kashmir region. The Dutch Foreign Minster assured Hugo Chavez that the Antilles islands will not serve as a springboard for a US invasion of Venezuela.
From CUBA- First, demonstrations in El Salvador over increases in the cost of living saw the military clash with a broad spectrum of citizens. Then comments responding to Condi Rice's statement that "Cubans have no greater friend than the US." This following the US drafting of a plan called "A Future For Cuba."
From RUSSIA- A commentary on the expansion of NATO involvement beyond its traditional range of influence, such as the former Soviet Union and Afghanistan.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line at-
http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves 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 <

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)
