WRMI on CBS News Weekend.

Huh... The last time that I'd hear about shortwave news on mainstream TV media news would be when a president would do his weekly radio address on VOA. So, this is rare to see.  https://swling.com/blog/2022/05/cbs-features-wrmis-ukraine-war-news-over-shortwave/#respond

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

The first picture they show behind the news announcer is of small segment of the front console of a Kenwood R-2000. A production assistant probably googled "shortwave radio" and picked an arbitrary picture!

Got to do something when the higher up's are expecting something you know nothing about.

Did they mention anything about the penguins roosting on the antennas?
