OBSERVATION: It appears that Google News Groups Does NOT Maintain or
have a 'Process for Maintaining' the: Mission Statement - Charter -
Guide Lines - Code of Conduct for the Recreation Radio Shortwave
(Rec.Radio.Shortwave) News Group or any other news group.

I have reviewed what is current on Google for the NewsGroups that are

GOOGLE GROUPS - POSTING STYLE GUIDE
http://groups.google.com/googlegroups/posting_style.html
The Do's and Don'ts of Posting on Google Groups: The easiest way to
learn what's acceptable on Usenet is by watching how others use it.
Once you've read a few hundred posts and witnessed a few flame wars
erupt, you should get a feel for what's appropriate and what's not.
To
help you get there a bit faster (and to make sure you don't
unintentionally set off a flame war of your own), we've included some
basic tips that will help you fit into the Usenet community more
easily. This guide is adapted from the very helpful "A Primer on How
to Work With the Usenet Community" by Chuq Von Rospach. For a more
complete guide to Usenet posting rules, search on Google Groups for
'usenet posting rules' or just CLICK HERE. (Use This Link)
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=usenet+posting+rules&num=100&hl=en&;...
.
[ PSG ] Only Post a Message Once. Avoid posting messages to more
than one newsgroup UNLESS you are sure it is appropriate. If you do
post to Multiple NewsGroups, do NOT post to each group separately.
Instead, Specify ALL the Groups on a single copy of the message.
This Reduces Network Overhead and lets people who subscribe to more
than one of those groups see the message once instead of having to
wade through each copy. RHF-Comment [ Also See - Avoid Posting to
Multiple NewsGroups. ]
.
[ PSG ] Avoid Posting to Multiple NewsGroups. Few things annoy
Usenet readers as much as multiple copies of a posting appearing in
Multiple NewsGroups (Called "SPAMMING"). A Posting that is
Cross-Posted (i.e. Lists Multiple NewsGroups on the NewsGroups:
Header
Line) to a Few Appropriate NewsGroups Is Fine, But even with
Cross-Posts, Restraint Is Advised. RHF-Comment [ Also See - Only
Post a Message Once ]
.
[ PSG ] Please Do Not Use Usenet As An Advertising Medium.
Advertisements on Usenet are rarely appreciated. In general, the
louder or more inappropriate the AD is, the more Antagonism it stirs
up. Just think how annoying it is to you to have your evening meal
interrupted by a telemarketer. The feeling is the same when someone
posts Inappropriate Commercial Messages in a NewsGroup. If in doubt,
don't do it. RHF-Comment [ Plain Text "Sigature Files" and URL
WebSite Tag Lines by Past Practice and Custom are 'By Definition'
NOT
Inappropriate Commercial Messages. ]
