Hi Paul - both of these groups have long been about radio content; back in the late 1990s, when I formed the swprograms group, shortwave listening was still something that was easy to do and was the source for most interesting radio (aside from NPR).
Frankly, the swprograms group was a lot more active back then as well; nowadays there's very little message traffic here. Truth be told, someone who was truly a legend in the shortwave listening -- Tom Sundstrom -- flagged this for the SWLFEST group; and I probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise. And, to your later comment of NPR having "...nothing to do with shortwave..." -- not exactly: NPR programming airs on AFRTS, which still has a small SW presence; when AFRTS had a bigger shortwave presence years ago, NPR programming could be heard quite easily on shortwave! As the owner of this list, I've occasionally allowed our topics to drift beyond the narrow definition of shortwave for an interesting "big picture" discussion about radio. If that bothers you, you're welcome to unsubscribe at any time. Richard Cuff On Mon, Apr 11, 2016 at 1:29 PM, Paul B.
