Yes it has and yes I do. The truth of your point simply points up the
truth
of the contention you're arguing against. In turns of international
broadcasting nations and transmitters on the air and listeners using
shortwave, SW has deminished each and every year since Kennedy was
president. And, I suppose that within the next year, yet another nation
or
two will announce that they're discontinuing international broadcasting
via
shortwave. So ask yourself this: "Are there as many stations on the air
now for as many hours as when I started in the hobby?" Your answer will
be
"no." It's "no" because, yes, shortwave _is_ dying. I take no
satisfaction in this, but the facts are the facts and they are
indisputable.
Hey, there's a LOT more than "international broadcasters" to listen to. In
fact, I listen to said stations very little.
