June 1 - KDX NOW IN 5TH YEAR ONLINE
KDX has been named The Biggest Radio Station of Its Size in the World
January 21, 2012 - PIRATES BOARDING SHIP - As some of you may have detected the freedoms and creative pursuits of civilian persons are being abrubtly brought under tow by invading forces, largely aided by our own government. It seems the Pentagon has turned upon the population it was instituted to protect, and taken that population into custody. The conspiratorial nature of the pillage is fulfilled by the corporate entertainment industry who wish to financially enslave the population by means of tolling fees for every square inch of productivity. The latest target is the classical public domain, the rich inherritance of every individual stemming from antiqual works of art, including literature, music, art, recordings and motion pictures. Despite our peril under such onslaught we do have advocates by way of persons dedicated to preserving liberties, and KDX Worldround Radio serves to report the ongoing saga of pirate government/corporate power vs. the individual. Stay tuned.
ONLINE RADIO LISTENING CLIMBS SHARPLY
November 29, 2011 - STREAMING PLAYERS REPAIRED - The convenient player buttons that connect to streaming audio from KDX Worldround Radio have recently gone through a periodic checkup and several of them needed fixing, and are now functioning correctly. The audience should now be able to listen to KDX by selecting the Flash, Window's Media or Winamp Players. The players are located on the Home Page or Transmitter Page.

Nov. 9, 2011 -- PHILOSOPHY TALK -- I once lamented that KDX was unable to find a philosophy show, but that has changed with the start of PHILOSOPHY TALK hosted by Stanford Professors John Perry & Ken Taylor scheduled Fridays 10 PM from Wfmt NETWORK.
Nov. 3, 2011 -- The Occupy Movement -- KDX has been placing some events from the various Occupy Locations as they become available, but so far there has been limited audio reporting, as the two leading media have so far been video and textual. Of course many of our regular programs carry news from Occupy, and various additional events can be heard outside of our posted hours of operation.
Oct. 4, 2011 - INDECENCY AND OBSCENITY ON RADIO - Quoting FCC Rule 73.3999 regarding restrictions on the transmission of obscene and indecent material:
(a) No licensee of a radio or television broadcast station shall broadcast any material which is obscene.
(b.) No licensee of a radio or television broadcast station shall broadcast on any day between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. any material which is indecent.
Finding this rule came about in response to two particular programs aired on KDX Worldround Radio, namely Geoligic with George Hrab and Rye Bread Radio with Akeem Lawanson. Obviously what we're saying is that the language on these programs might exceed the allowances. According to our broadcast consultant the rule says nothing about lewd content, and we've found close to 40 other terms describing errant language. A fuller discussion of this subject takes place on both Low Power Hour # 14 and Blare OnAir "Legal Alien," two of our monuments to decency and whatever the counterpoint to obscenity is ("scenity," perhaps? To finalize this, may I point out that vulgar words virtually exude from sports arenas, law enforcement officers, military personnel, politicians, movies, cable tv and the internet.It is entirely unclear why radio takes the brunt of the crackdown on picky words.
KDX ANNOUNCES PLANS TO OPEN 2 NEW FREQUENCIES -- Long Wave broadcasting, frequencies below the familiar AM radio dial and popular in Europe, are best known for reaching much farther than other radio signals. KDX will be sending on 162kHz per FCC 15.217 on a transmitter being designed by a committee that includes KDX as a member. At the same time KDX will start a new service at 970kHz AM utilizing carrier current, a method of sending radio via power lines as enabled by FCC 15.221.
THE EQUINOX ARRIVES WITH FALL and renewed concert schedules from DEUTSCHE WELLE FESTIVAL CONCERTS, CIVIC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OF CHICAGO and CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER coming from the Wfmt NETWORK.
KDX IS SHORTENING AND LENGTHENING ITS SCHEDULE
Regular weekdays will start 1 hour later at 10:00 AM CDT through the winter season.
Weekends, including Friday and Saturday, KDX will remain on the air all night, also including Sunday night whenever Monday is a declared holiday.
KDX-SW MEANS KDX SHORTWAVE
KDX participated on a committee of design engineers drafting an FCC acceptable professional transmitter, and now have two versions tested, approved and broadcasting in the 21-meter band. Look for us on your shortwave radio at 13.560mHz.
What Happened To KDX-TV?
KDX-TV was a simple experiment to provide video with all appropriate permissions and copyright checks, but legislation aims to crack down on video links EVEN WHEN PERMISSIONS EXIST. Because KDX is predominantly a radio service, we hereby stand aside from the video struggle, until such time as reason returns to fashion.

Tuesday November 30, 2010 FREE FROM RELIGION
When the radio network Air America shuttered-up, the program Freethought Radio lost numerous outlets across the country, but co-presidents/hosts Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Barker continued undaunted with many remaining affiliates, including KDX Worldround Radio (see the open letter from The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) exhibited 1/22/10). These months later the accumulation of new radio stations scheduling Freethought Radio has taken a major burst with the addition of 35-new stations. The FFRF is active on the frontline in defense of the separation of government and religion.
Tuesday November 16, 2010 -- KDX Is Not a Community Station
A moment ago your editor was flipping through websites of other streaming and low power radio stations and noticing that all of them are still going by the old model of "serving the community." That approach made sense for stations whose power slapped down a good signal across the city limits of the community, but the mechanism has become entirely different given two factors that change the underlying notion of "community." Factor one, the streaming station, has worldround reach which significantly dwarfs any thought of a local community. And factor two, the low power station, reaches the house, yard and a few birdhouses; not quite a community. The new form factor is a "personal radio station," owned and programmed by the individual listener. Join the movement.
August 12, 2010 Extra Large Bird
KDX Worldround Radio operates from the Internet Building in the center of North America, midway between a bamboo forest and a woodland garden, populated by circulating species of wild birds, including a gigantic owl. Frequently at dawn or sunset I step outside just as the cat sized bird is standing on the bird bath and it up fluffs to a high perch to out-wait me. Like many of the inhabitants it is accustomed to my presence and simply puffs aside while I do whatever I do. When it passes through the air it's like watching a brown pair of pants flying by.
July 25, 2010 GEOLOGIC with GEORGE HRAB
Just yesterday permission came back following our request to air George Hrab's Geologic program, with his caveat about the unrestrained language heard during the program. We e-mailed our reply to Mr. Hrab which I reprint here because it does mark somewhat of a seachange in policy for KDX: "Dear George, You have raised an interesting question which just now has gone through a metamorphosis in my own view, that of "language." I assume we are talking about explicit, blunt, unexpurgated language. Coming from a career in licensed broadcast, it is my second nature to avoid fleeting expletives, but of course the internet has opened the way for uninhibited speech, which at first did not cause me to change accordingly, but recently a high court decision informed the FCC they cannot censor speech in the vague and arbitrary way that's been the standard, and I take that to be a freeing up over old fashions. To me, under relaxed rules, broadcast talk can become one and the same as speech in real life. Thank you for the green light on running your show. Regards, Carl Blare."

Frequently on recent days KDX has shut off because of large electrical storms nearby. Lightning can damage electronic equipment, as can high wind.

November 20,2009 UTC AND CENTRAL STANDARD
Most of the world thinks and acts in tempo with UTC, Coordinated Universal Time, much the same thing as GMT, Greenwich Mean Time, from the Royal Observatory in England. Of course here locally we get shoved back and forth between Daylight and Standard Time in the Center of North America, but it's not fair to expect the entire world to adjust to our local clock, so we've put both types of time on our Schedule Page (link above).
