Any of you who’ve been following the SWLing Post for a while know how much I love recording music<\/a> over the shortwaves. Lately<\/a>, Radio Kuwait has been booming into my part of eastern North America with great vivacity.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I recorded several hours of their broadcast on my WinRadio Excalibur. I couldn’t help but notice, the last time I posted a recording, that their music\u00a0had a great deal of variety. Their mix yesterday afternoon encompassed hip hop, country, pop, rock, R&B, and even a little Billy Joel and Donovan.<\/p>\n

Though the hip-hop and boy bands don’t particularly hold my personal interest, hearing “Mellow Yellow” over 7,000 miles of ether certainly has appeal.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for music variety (well, a lot<\/em> of variety), with some items of cultural interest thrown in,\u00a0check out<\/a>\u00a0Radio Kuwait:
