Hello to all of you out there.  I was doing some research on a term paper for 
this semester when an interesting item caught my eye in a periodical abstract 
file.  WW’It deals with shortwave radio and social studies.  It is abstracted

Title:     Social studies comes alive with shortwave radio.
Author:    James M. Skerik

Abstract:
------------
Shortwave radio broadcasts foster new approaches to teaching and can provide 
an electronic field-trip to students' interest in social studies by giving 
the subject a new perspective. Learning skills and activities are centered 
around listening from radio, and provide a boost to the students' capacity to 
assimilate and accumulate knowledge.  Global contests conducted by shortwave 
stations and other regular programs provide pleasure to students when they 
hear their voice on the air.  Shortwave radio effectively cultivates an 
interest for social studies in students.
