Not only the R75 and the other major shortwave reciever are
discontinured, but according to this website I found, ham radio has also
been discontinued and extinct for years?

Then I wonder what I'm hearing on the frequencies formerly used by ham
radio operators?

hmmm... It must be signals from the past. LOL

The guy that wrote this website is serious.
He wrote

"How they do it in Frequency, they use a very particular radio system
called HAM Radio. It is an old system not in use today and there would
be little interest in using it today since nobody is using it anymore.
On top of this, you need a license to operate one."

He must be about ten years old.
