If you are looking for some winter reading, check out my “Why we need Shortwave 2.0” in the January 17 Radio World. It includes discussion of our Shortwave Radiogram project, to which you all contribute.

After a writing drought, I also had a piece on the politico-bureaucratic side of international broadcasting in the The Hill, January 5: “‘Radio Free Everywhere’ defeats the purpose of Voice of America.”

Read them. They will help you get to sleep.

Speaking of droughts, our snow drought in the Washington DC area ended with about four inches (10 cm) on January 16. And there will be more tonight. It’s amazing to see the tracks of the wildlife on all sides of our house, including foxes, maybe coyotes, deer, rabbits, and assorted others. I am now keeping gates open to facilitate their movements. 

Temperatures here have dropped below 20F/-7C. Chances are it’s colder, with more snow on the ground, where you are.

A video of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 337) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
