Will dx become more interesting as the power blasters close down in favour
of internet and satellite?

Things could be getting exciting for dxers.

What do you think?

The future of shortwave will be spotty. Broadcasts to developed countries in
North America, Europe, and Japan/South Korea will be a thing of the past
because of satellite media. Some shortwave receivers are cheap, compared
with satellite receivers, and will be still be used in the third world. As
long as governments and religious groups want to convey their messages to
these people, shortwave will still exist. For North Americans, the dx
possibilities will be amazing. With high powered stations beamed away, it
will be easier to get unusual broadcasts.
