    A weekly 30 minute review of news and opinion, recorded from a 
shortwave radio. With times and freqs for listening at home. 2 files- 
broadcast and slow-modem streaming. Free to rebroadcast. China, 
Netherlands, Cuba, and Russia.

Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (February 23) 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 China Radio International, 
Radio Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.

>From CHINA- Following Tony Blair's announcement of troop reductions 
in Iraq, Australian Prime Minister Howard says that Australian troops 
will not be withdrawn. EU nations will reduce carbon emissions by 20 or 
30% by 2020, though this will be difficult for its newest members. China 
says it will seek to reduce energy consumption by 20% by 2010. The 
Iranian President said the West must stop its nuclear development if 
they want Iran to do the same.

>From NETHERLANDS- As the deadline approached for Iran to cease 
nuclear development or face UN sanctions, RN interviewed a 
disarmament specialist about the danger of the threats by the US. On 
Monday a campaign was launched in the Netherlands to cut back on 
driving while "giving the middle finger." Australia wants to ban the sale 
of incandescent light bulbs in favor of energy-efficient compact 
flourescents- by the way this has been proposed in California as well. 
By Wednesday the Dutch campaign to drive without "giving the middle 
finger" had been called a failure.

>From CUBA- A Viewpoint on a visit by Hugo Chavez to Caribbean 
countries to further develop economic and social cooperation in Latin 
America under an alternative trade agreement called ALBA. In 
Guatemala, Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu has 
announced her candidacy for President representing the new Mayan 
political party called Winaq. There are currently 26,000 would be Latin 
American immigrants being held without charge in various compounds 
around the US.

>From RUSSIA- A commentary on the increase in US troops in 
Afghanistan while the Taliban are expected to begin a new military 
campaign this Spring.

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 <http://www.kzyx.org 
>

There are several other streams that work better- < 
http://www.freakradio.org >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 < 
http://www.radio4all.net > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in 
podcasts)

Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >

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)

öFurthuR! Dan Roberts

...instead of giving a rifle to somebody, build a school; instead of giving 
a rifle, build a community with adequate services. Instead of giving a 
rifle, develop an educational system that is not about conflict and 
violence, but one that promotes respect for values, for life, and respect 
for one's elders. This requires a huge investment. Yet if we can invest 
in a different vision of peaceful coexistence, I think we can change the 
world, because every problem has a nonviolent answer.
-- Rigoberta Menchu 24th September, 1996
