Great argument. I can tell you were on the debate team in school.

I think you have proven why brothers and sisters shouldn't have kids.

Are you in denial or what? Don't believe everything your mother tells
you. If you have listened to SW for any length of time you will
notice that stations are going off SW. If they haven't left yet, they
have cut their schedules down and probably will do so soon.

Look at the radio selections. Back in the eighties every one of the
major radio companies offered numerous models. Now what's available?
People are buying the old stuff because one, it worked great, and two,
the selection of new SW radios is dwindling.

Art Bell and the like have ruined AM for DX listening. I like Coast
to Coast and all that but it is on every other station on the dial.
It used to be fun to tune into those distant stations and listen to
their unique programming. That isn't the case anymore.

Ask your mom if you can get rid of the WebTV and get a real computer
with broadband access. Your shortwave radio will collect dust when
you hear how good it can really sound. BPL might be available in your
area or your trailer park may have wi-fi access. Maybe the wi-fi will
be free and that will leave you with more money for other cool ****.
Go ahead, ask your mom. I bet she'll do it.


Blah blah blah, I got chunks of guys like you in my stool. Have a seat,
you're clueless.
