Colin,
In the 80s and 90s, I got much of my news from RCI, and found it a very
refreshing departure from what passes for news here in the U.S. Sadly, I
don't hear much from RCI on shortwave any more, so I don't know if the
broadcasts are as good as they were when I was listening. I've heard that
they're not, and I hope that's not true.
Steve
