Why are there so few on topic postings on this newsgroup?

It's because there really isn't all that much new to be found on the
shortwave bands anymore. The information you find on BBC or China Radio
can also be found on the net , cable tv or on CNN. The program related
posts on this forum that generate the most excitement seem to be those
listing the latest station to abandon the shortwave spectrum. Otherwise
it's back to the fights about China politics, our verbally challenged
president, bodily noises and whether the Yaesu FRG7 or the Drake of the
same number was once the best radio of all time.

The Drake R7 is still a mighty receiver. I use mine all the time.
