Listening to the LPFM station WSLR-LP in Sarasota, Florida on 96.5 MHz. FM, I cam across a unique program called The Shortwave Report which is produced by Dan Roberts and describes itself on its website <www.outfarpress.com/shortwave.shmtl <http://www.outfarpress.com/shortwave.shmtl>> as, “[A] 30 minute review of news stories recorded from shortwave radio. Times and frequencies for English-language programs are included to encourage you to listen on your own.” It is also podcast from <https://outfarpress.podbean.com <https://outfarpress.podbean.com/>>.
A new show is “posted” to the website every Friday morning. I have heard this program before but hearing it now brough it back into a little focus and I thought I’d share the information. It airs on WSLR-LP at 12:30 pm on Saturdays and the station is streamed at <wslr.org <http://wslr.org/>> for those outside the FM range of the station. LPFM stations are FCC licensed and are popping up all the time. Many are a source for unique, non-commercial, community-focused radio programming not generally broadcast by the commercial stations. Near my QTH in Halfmoon, NY, WOOC-LP transmits from Troy, NY on 105.3 FM and broadcasts a wealth of African and Afro-Caribbean music during a large portion of its 24/7 schedule. It also streams from <www.mediasanctuary.org/inistatives/radio/ <http://www.mediasanctuary.org/inistatives/radio/>>. Entering “The Shortwave Report” into a search engine can serve as a nice introduction into the community LPFM stations that exist around the country.
