     This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
From CHINA- American corporation Westinghouse signed contracts to build 4 third-generation nuclear powerplants in China and transfer core technology. China has urged that the interests of developing nations be addressed at the Doha trade talks in Geneva. Foreign ministers of Egypt and Jordan are in Israel representing the Arab League in talks on an Arab peace initiative. Geo Bush has condemned critics who claim Al-Qaeda operation in Iraq is distinct from those who attacked the World Trade Center.
From NETHERLANDS- The continuing rains in England have flooded vast areas causing thousands to be evacuated. A press review on the floods, covering research that claims that the excessive rains are a direct consequence of global warming. While the rains are flooding in N Europe, heat waves are killing many and creating havoc in Hungary and elsewhere. By the way, 40 degrees Celsius equals 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

A Viewpoint on Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega's accusation that the US has launched a campaign of destabilization in his country.

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)

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)
