Shortwave Radio, the overlooked unfiltered news stream (20)

1 Name: <Anon> : 2012-04-10 07:23 ID:17B5bblB [Del]

It is an occurring thing that news is becoming filtered and censored. But there is a way to get this news. The shortwave radio! If you scrounge around Thrift stores and garage sales you might get your hands on a radio that can receive them. if you do googling on shortwave radio stations, you might be able find an english radio station! [note that there is tons of spanish and etc languages, so bi-linguals have some advantage] I would love to hear if you guys have a radio station, or is a hobbyist in shortwave radio stuff!

You know, we could have our own radio. Mainly due to the very opinionated, yet highly intelligent members that we actually do have on this site. Make it where a person could connect to the Radio, via through like Winamp and the Radio Server it can create, and you could have it like a sort of Radio Talk show due to people are able to connect to it. Listen. Talk.

I'd rather listen to that, than a lot of the official Radio Stations we do have.

>>1 *high five*
>>2 Agreed. I mean if the Dollars have a Radio thing, then we could help people out AND have our aliases remain intact. I'm just saying that if we do this we'll need to use our aliases so we don't give away who we are.

It's possible to get a dedicated radio server, have a couple of users administrate it, and set up some playlists to cycle through every 24-72 hours. Live broadcasts could also be set up at certain times of day.

There any possible links to show how to set up a Radio Show online and embed it into a site? To explain myself better, I just want to know how possible it is, to find a site that lets you talk on it, in REAL time (live) and allow others to join in and talk, and it plays on a Radio player on your website.

I heard of a program a while back called Broadwave, but to be honest, there are a bunch of programs out there that allow for live audio streaming.

Site wise. I already know of programs.

You do realize how old this thread is, right?

11 Name: <Anon> : 2012-05-21 07:01 ID:17B5bblB [Del]

>>10 You do realize they don't care, right?
Anyway, I think that if we do set up a radio station, our site's founder (Its Reltair, right?) And it should be policed by some of his trusted friends/users.

Actually we most likely will have one, but it won't be hosted by Reltair. We just need people willing to be hosts on it, so we can finally get it tested and started.

I did not know that. It would be interesting to see who would do what with it.
Oh and >>12 , quit being a moron.

>>18 you do not deserve to use that jpg.
also, quit fucking posting a picture on almost every single post you do, it serves no god damn purpose, wastes space, and makes it so the screen takes longer to load. Doesnt make you look any smarter if thats what youre trying to accomplish.
