Email & Newsgroups Discussion


EMAIL GROUPS
There is actually an overkill in the number of shortwave related email discussion groups.  I've listed below the major ones I've been able to find.  Most have 300 - 500+ members.  Some cover niche topics, while others are for general discussion.  They can greatly add to your knowledge and general enjoyment of the hobby:
 

R-2000 Email Discussion Group
This group was specifically started to gather users of the Kenwood R-2000 Communications Receiver and allow them a forum in which to discuss related issues.

NEWSGROUPS
Newsgroups are different from email discussion groups in two ways.  One, you do not have to subscribe to post a message to their forum.  Two, messages are not automatically emailed to you.  Instead, you have to go to their web site to read their messages.  Essentially they are a bulletin board service.  I've listed below all the ones I could find related to shortwave DXing.

NOTE:  Even if your internet service does not support newsgroups, you can still access and post to them through the Google links below:
