shortwave radio

How many of you have been bitten by the bug of shortwave radio?
You know listening to stations from far away countries tell of the news from their land and giving us a chance to listen to them describe their culture and history. I have been listening to shortwave since i was 8. i can remember hours of listening to exciting stories of far away and the news hours to a day or so before you see it in the local news papers. I thought this was great to be able to hear what was going on before the local gov controlled media would discuss it. Even in the 80's and 90's it was the same way.
