I can't help but to have noticed over the last 10 years I have to work
harder to catch a little English broadcasting (unless it is religous
stuff - which of course they have every right to spend their money on
broadcasting but it is disheartening to get a blasting good signal of
crap).

I have a very fast internet connection, two killer computers (one a
laptop other a dual processor 64 bit desktop machine) and I perish the
thought of listening to these stations via them. I also have Sirius
and despise the idea of listening to the BBC or any other station that
I have grown accustomed to listening to via shortwave.

I initially started listening to HF Broadcasting for the geek appeal.
But as I got older I realized that the only way to find out what's
going on in the USA is to hear it from an objective ''third-party''
perspective as provided by the International Broadcasters; thus I got
hooked on the content.

I am very glad that rather than vanish entirely some broadcasters have
remained alive via 21st Century delivery methods e.g. the internets
and the Sirius.
