I have Time Warner cable which means of course, I have no usenet
access except through google groups. Is there any NNTP server out
there who provides free access to rec.radio.shortwave ? I am not
interested in warez, photos, or anything like that , just text support
for usenet. Thanks much.

Any search engine such as Google will usually answer your question.
It saves looking daft on a newsgroup!

Google uses your search info against you. Yahoo and Bing are less invasive.

Yea, after you fumble through the 20 or so listings that either are
paid services or not a service a all.
The answer provided in here worked perfectly.

A real human response is always the best way.

He doesn't look daft in a newsgroup.

He looks like someone asking others who know the answer.

Lay off.

Quite agree with you.

As an interesting aside I'm posting here via my ISP's Usenet news server,
and a while ago I posted an item re: Lowe HF-150 control software. I got no
replies so just assumed the old HF-150 is dead and gone. Then a month or so
later while Googling LOWE I saw my post in the Yahoo Group for
rec.radio.shortwave

That made me kind of angry. What on earth is any reputable company like
Yahoo doing shadowing and feeding a Yahoo group of rec.radio.shortwave AND
NOT feeding data back to the original source group on Usenet. And if they
are not allowed to do it then they should not be basing a group on
rec.radio.shortwave. Undermines the whole community and data integrity for
ALL.

Since then I'm wondering how much is being lost on the Usenet group because
our input is taken and played with behind closed doors elsewhere. And for
any Yahoo group members reading this, how much info are you missing because
other 'groups' elsewhere are doing exactly the same thing.

I have that set as my homepage and it is the only search engine that I will
use.
