Er, yes.  r.m.gaffa can be clearly seen to have something to do with music,
and r.a.wobegon is some kind of rec.arts group.  rec.swl doesn't give that
extra information by being in a subhierarchy.

I guess you don't want it inside the ham-radio distribution, eh?
rec.broadcast.swl?  rec.radio.swl?  I don't know.

...lots of SWL people bursting forth from some misc group or something?
