Continuing this topic...I believe someone else brought up on this board
a while ago, that one of the most requested items for victims of the
tsunami in southern Asia were radios. Gee, with the prevalence of
internet radio and satellites, one wouldn't think of those
anymore...also, during the September 11th attacks, when cell phone
towers were down in New York, ham radios still worked.

Radio (and shortwave) aren't going anywhere.


Shortwave radio is the only truly global information medium that can't
be censored, controlled by a handful of megaentities, or blocked.
Shortwave signals can't be grabbed and burned like a newspaper or a
computer disc. Shortwave isn't dependent on some omniscient controller
to decide what gets through the filter-SW has no filter.
