the voice of israel in brooklyn
one evening i was flipping the dial of my completely low tech ecologically sound wind up radio and i happend upon kol yisrael the voice of israel on 88 fm . at first i thought it was in honor of yom haatzmaut, but now i realize that its not a fluke because for the last week ive been listening to kol yisrael. they must be broadcasting somewhere in brooklyn, because im not sure how else im getting it. i tried looking it up online but it mostly lists ways one can listen online. anyone else know about this? i know im living in an alternative reality, but this has really been confirming my suspicions. but seriously, anyone know where this is being broadcast from?

Kol Israel is available online. They stopped broadcasting on shortwave April 2008 [cite:wiki]. Most likely, someone is taking one of their streamed channels and broadcasting it over the local airwaves. Unfortunately, my skill with Google Search yields only this much information on this Sunday at midnight.
Enjoy your wind-up radio.
I guess that only if the person who is doing the broadcasting knows very well that their broadcast power is below the FCC's reaches, then you might hear about it. You could tour the city with your radio's antenna retracted and try to figure out where the signal is strongest to find the source yourself. This could make for a few nice, long summer afternoon bicycle rides.
If you goodle "kol israel 88", you'll see it's one of their stations that they officially use.
thanks josh.
