when mellowing out...

Depends on which type of "mellowing out".  Usually, if I'm relaxing, I just scan the HF for the Doomsdayers. Listening to them go on and on and on is pretty entertaining (especially as the 21st is coming closer and closer - the amount of layers of tinfoil on these peoples' hats is getting higher each day). If I'm falling asleep, though, I need a constant noise. 3330 khz does just the perfect job.

Yes, RHC English can be entertaining... with Ed Newman as Jack Tripper, Eva Barajas & Lena Valverde as Janet & Chrissy and Arnie Coro as Mr. Furley.  It's like Three's Company never left the air!
 

Eva Barajas has one of the best female voices on the airwaves.... sexy and sultry.

I'm another fan of Radio Nacional Da Amazonia and Radio Rebelde.  Sometimes the late night DJs on China's CNR-1 are interesting to listen to -- they play a mixture of soft jazzy music and sound like they're reciting some sort of poetry or something.

The Middle Eastern stations, when they're coming in, are always good for music.  I used to listen to the Voice of Turkey every night until they either signed off or faded out.  They played a terrific mix of Turkish music almost non stop.  A lot of cumbus and saz....

The last couple of months I've been concentrating on MW, and the sounds of the distant stations coming through the ether have this mellowing effect on me, especially if conditions are good and the noise level is low.

I think it's the phasing effect, iI just find it very relaxing.
