My cable tv here is now completely awful. It is virtually unwatchable

can't put up an antenna or satellite dish here. too many trees for
satellite reception anyways. It's "Smokey The Bear" woods thick.

and although I was (and still am a bit) upset about the cable tv no
longer coming in watchable, I finally say "phooey on the cable tv".
It just gives me another excuse to once again start monitoring radio
stations like I used to. And besides, in today's atmosphere, even if
the cable tv came in perfectly, who could see the actual program
picture anyways with all those station logos, advertising banners,
titles of shows, text crawls, and a bunch of other superimposed stuff
constantly covering the picture anyways?

just one more excuse to go back to listening to the radio instead of
watching tv.

I do still have my old videotapes that I can watch, so I'll probably
alternate between watching them and listening to the radio. But once
I've seen them a few times, then there's not much reason to watch
them anymore.

So it looks like I'll soon be posting my actual shortwave radio
loggings here.

SW is good for more than DX or just logging what you hear. Believe it or
not you can actually listen to the program content. There is new, music,
commentary and other programs that cover about any subject under the sun.
