Default Moving soon-should I set up my listening post?

Ever since March I've been living in a situation that is not conducive
to SW listening, so my Yaesu and Degen have been wrapped up and in
storage. This situation was intended to be temporary until my new house
was built, but construction has run into delay after delay. But the
house is about half finished now, so I have a question: when I move in,
should I bother to set up my listening post, or is SW a lost cause? I
just got my 2005 Passport, and it has a sidebar in there asking if SW
radio is "kaput" and concludes that it isn't. While several European
stations have disappeared, and Voice of America is about to do the same
thing, China and Thailand have been expanding services. Plus traditional
SW radio is hard to censor or jam (although many stations seem to be
censoring themselves). What does everybody think?
