Radio blackout on the shortwave frequencies here in North America.
Blame satilite radio services (XM and Sirius) combine that with the
adgenda of the WTO.

You gotta be a masochist to put up with the static and distortion
while program listening. Why put precious tax dollars into klunky
tube transmitters when more elegant delivery methods are available?

Because it's more fun. It gives you a sense of accomplishment.

Darn right! That satellite stuff is for 'tard boys who couldn't figure out how

upon it.

Long live shortwave and shortwave DX'ing.
