Short wave radio

[markem]

Any short wave radio listeners out there? I'm in Oregon (US) on the pacific coast, so I tend to listen to a lot of stations out of Japan, Taiwan and China. However, I do get some good stations from the Caribbean and South America.

Anyone else out there listen to short wave? Where are you at and what are the good frequencies for your area?

I like 6.060 MHz for the music (it's Radio Havana Cuba), 6.010 MHz (dunno the location), 5.590 MHz Radio Taiwan International (but only after 1am local as that's when the bible thumpers end), and 6.190 (Radio China International). Of course, different areas of the world will find that the frequencies may be in use by different users.

I use my amateur radio setup for listening and scan the SW frequencies using Ham Radio Deluxe that let's my computer drive the radio. We get some killer music at about 2-5am local from all over the pacific rim -- including NZ and Australia.
