About half of our members enjoy listening to SW Broadcast stations,
either because they are interested in the content of the broadcast itself
(SWLing) or because they enjoy the technical challenge of hearing weak and/or
distant broadcasts (DXing).
For the SWL, MARE maintains a database of English Language Shortwave
Broadcast schedules for the current broadcasting schedule.
And for everyone, a chance to voice an opinion on the current
events in the Mid east, general radio related chatter or even the debate
over Radio Monitoring laws, and the public perception that we are
a bunch of voyers gettin our kicks at the expense of the 'average joe's'
privacy. We know this perception is wrong, but check out the links
in the scanner section, read up on the laws that are currently on the
books, and let us know what you think, and how you'd suggest we do some
'image repair' before it is too late!
