And as rock music is inspired by the devil..... Actually, last weekend I heard a shortwave station playing religious programs AND rock music. And it wasn't religious rock music either-- they were playing the Rolling Stones and James Taylor, to name two, in blocks of three songs per artist or group. They'd play an hour or two of rock followed by an hour or two of religious programs, and back to rock, and so forth. Quite unusual for a religious station. Anyway, the station's name is KUSW from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Sorry, but I don't remember the frequency. Perhaps someone in the know could post the schedule. Another shortwave station with rock music is WRNO New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. This is a commercial station, so you have to listen to advertisements. I haven't heard it in a while, so I don't know if it's still on the air. If it is, does anybody have the schedule? -- Bill McFadden Tektronix, Inc. P.O.

Perhaps someone in the The frequency is 15650 kHz, and it can be heard in the afternoon pretty strong; I don't know the timings though. They call themselves "Super Power KUSW" and churn out "2 million Watts of World Band power". I am surprised to see many U.S. shortwave stations have religious (specifically Christian programming regularly). I wonder if their primary source of advertising is from this source. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sriram Narayan 810446 Texas A&M University | INTERNET: narayan@photon.tamu.edu | Go Alain Prost!
