Even worse, it looks like we aren't sharing the good stuff like the Alex
Jones Show, The Jerimiah 33-3 Ministries guy, George W. Gentry, or any of
the Gold Bugs and Medicine Shows. If Europeans get lucky, WRMI might

share
James Lloyd.

DRM and it's digital broadcasting mode
children will never appear on shortwave.
Mark it in your book. Analog will be here
for a very long time to come, as any digital
dependent mode requires a clear signal
path for reception. When was the last time
we heard a clear shortwave program or
station that had ZERO fading, noise or
propagation issues with it's signal?
My guess is you can count them on one hand.

A perfect example is how everyone has had
to endure poor signal degradation from someone
using a modern cellphone. 20% of the calls
I get from people out in the field usually cut out
or are partially garbled, and I am using a brand
new Samsung and Nokia digital phone. Any loss
of "data" between you and 'over there/wherever'
on the other end of the cellphone line and your
call is useless or interrupted. If it's this bad with
local Verizon cell phone service in a major metro area
(NJ/NY/Ct) then how bad will it be with a digital
shortwave signal comming halfway around the world
on a much lower frequency prone to atmospherics
and other degradation...?

Digital Shortwave???? Sounds alot like New Coke
or the Yugo car or any one of another 'brilliant' consumer
technology or product ideas that are now in the rubbish
bin of history.
