Some of this might be interesting to the the rec.radio.shortwave folks;
their original charter was quite broad.

Some of it might be interesting to the rec.arts.wobegon (de facto 
rec.arts.npr) folks.

Of the rest, is it of broad enough interest that, as the default, it is
propagated to all hosts?  Have you thought about a mailing list?

I haven't seen any name proposals.  How 'bout rec.radio.public?
