|Before we get too carried away by names with "dx" in them (as opposed
|to the original "rec.swl"), it's worth remembering that this group
|would also include articles on shortwave *programs*, even if they come
|from stations which aren't noteworthy dx "catches".  Anybody with any
|kind of shortwave radio can listen to the BBC -- that would never be
|called dx'ing.  But I would definitely like to see articles about
|interesting BBC (world service) programs.  This is one of the weakest
|aspects (from an swl point of view) of rec.ham-radio.

I find this argument so strong I'm now in favor of going back
to Richard's original proposal: rec.swl.  Can't we all live
with that?  We can use other means to promote the group (such
as an occasional post to rec.ham-radio etc.)
