Used to be that SW broadcasts were the way to get a country's message out to
the rest of the world. It seems that isn't the point anymore, they don't
care if they serve anyone but their own country or expats. Nobody cares
about the third world anymo they don't have money for expensive digital
radios, and they don't have internet..


The 3rd world is, in some respects, more technologically advanced than
the USA. For example, they leaped over copper and went straight to
wireless for their telephones.
