I used to love my shortwave radio.

My favorite was listening to Radio Pyongyang’s English broadcast at 6:00 AM local time. It was like a parody.

Listening to Radio Moscow’s Propaganda was worth it to hear “Moscow Nights”

Radio Tirana, the voice of Albania, was like that too.

In high school I listened to Radio Havana to practice Spanish which I was taking for the first time. That was in 1965 listening on my Dad’s Trans-Oceanic which I still have. The propaganda was laughable.

Earlier I had listened to Radio Moscow. The announcers’ English was so perfect I assumed they had to be American turncoats.

Now getting back into shortwave listening with a vintage Hammarlund HQ-180. Lots of evangelical stations out there, as well as broadcasts from the Middle East & Iran with some truly poisonous anti-Israel & anti-American vitriol. All in perfect English, of course.

It’s probably good to have something to listen on that doesn’t rely on satellite or the internet.
