I still listen to SW every day. But the choices I grew
up enjoying are mostly gone. If it wasn't for Radio
Netherlands, R. Australia, CRI, and Taiwan, there'd
be practically nothing. We can get a few hours of BBC
from their African and other services, if propagation
allows, but lately I've been trying to scan the bands
and get only the religious programs in English. I
suspect that most of the other-language signals I hear
are also religious.

I thought the quiet bands were due to the low sunspot cycle, but I just
changed antennas and found there's still a ton of stuff to hear. The
variety surprised me.

For the first time in months I can hear R. Sweden, R. Portugal, RNZI, R.
Veritas, AIR...nothing super rare yet but lots more than just the main
powerhouses.

I miss some of my old favorites like R. Denmark and Tahiti but there's
enough to keep me busy for now.

Tahiti's been gone for quite a while now, hasn't it?

OK, so I'm being lazy today and don't want to look it up!
