Today is November 6th, 2012 and tonight, people from all over the world will be following the US presidential elections. Though ETOW’s partners live in some of the most remote parts of our world, they, too, will be following via the power of shortwave radio. The Voice of America is even extending their shortwave coverage to provide this news.

Ironically, shortwave radio will be providing news from sources across the globe at the speed of light-no streaming, no buffering, no apps, no fees.

No electricity? No problem: our radios crank out their own power with the twist of handle.
