Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (February 2) 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) (28:59)

This week's show features stories from Radio Netherlands, Radio 
Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
>From NETHERLANDS- Last year the Netherlands experienced the 4th 
largest number of fatalities resulting from a natural disaster last year, a 
heat wave killing 1000 people- the UN Panel on Climate Change has 
released a new report. A study showed that people carrying out 
terrorists acts in Europe do not come from Islamic countries or have 
international connections. Israel began airstrikes on the Gaza Strip a 
day after a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 3 people in Israel, though 
the Israeli army said the events were not related. Then an interview with 
a representative from Human Rights Watch about Israel's extensive 
use of American made cluster bombs during last summer's invasion of 
Lebanon.
>From CUBA- The Canadian government has apologized to Meher Arat 
and given him $9 million after he was abducted in NYC and secretly 
sent by the CIA to Syria to be tortured for a year before being released 
with no charges. Then a Viewpoint on the recently concluded World 
Social Forum, which focuses on ending the neo-liberal model for 
international relations, reducing or eliminating Third World international 
debt, and agrarian reform in Africa. According to the Israeli press, 
Israeli officials are considering extending the route of the wall they are 
building in the West Bank, a move opponents are saying is a further 
land grab of Palestinian territory.
>From CHINA- A report from CRI on the tentative cease fire between 
Hamas and Fatah in Palestine, and the Israeli airstrikes.
>From RUSSIA- A commentary on the truce between Hamas and Fatah 
in Palestine which is continually broken- the Russian Foreign Minister 
points out that it is as if someone from the outside is orchestrating the 
bloodshed. A commentary on American citizens opposition to the war 
on Iraq.

There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on 
line at- http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-
shortwaves

I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, 
available at http://radio.mediageek.net

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 (PST) on 
KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
There are several other streams that work better- Freak Radio Santa 
Cruz now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am and Saturday at 
11am(PST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from or 
iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at
And the Partytown streams are great and informative-

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)
