Remember, the prohibition of domestic SW came from the desire to protect the
US clear channels in the early 30's. The AM 50 kw stations were supposed to
offer extensive regional coverage, and SW was prohibited from competing with
them. (It had nothing to do with the war as far as I have researched)

Since clear channels essential don't exist, maybe the FCC does not care.



I think as long as the programming carried by domestic SW stations
appeals to a small number of hobbyists and whackos, the FCC doesn't
care. If it actually started to cross over and appeal to substantial
market segments, they would tighten up a bit to protect the big guys.
