But that's not even HF. If I weren't going to listen on shortwave, I'd
just go to a radio station's website and listen for FREE. I don't need
some big shot to take my money and then make decisions for me about
what I can/cannot listen to.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Radio big shots is radio big shots.

Every time you buy a Coke or chew Wrigley's gum you are paying to
listen to commercial radio (whether you actually listen or not).

What I do is buy stuff that doesn't advertise heavily, and spend the
difference on making my life more fun.

What you do is buy the same crap everyone else buys, but in addition
you have to pay for your radio listening. That stinks.

No, I don't. My 5th grade teacher made me read the Hidden Pursuaders.
I have been hip to marketing and motivation since I was a little kid.
Name brand **** is generally inferior. Campbell's Soup, for instance,
tastes like paint thinner if you haven't eaten any for a while.

Anybody who spends $4,000 for an AM radio that gets maybe 20
listenable programs a day has no room to get on someone else's case
for paying $13 a month for 120 channels 24/7.
