Those'r the old Christian Science Monitor transmitters, aren't they?
You do realize very few people listen to HF broadcast these days. �Seems
like a massive waste of electricity. �Reminds me of giant alternators
sending Morse code across the Atlantic. �Quaint.


That is true for the US, but many millions still listen in Europe,
Asia, Africa...


No they don't. They listen to FM and web streams like the rest of the
world. Maybe a few Pacific Islanders without broadband, but not a
significant audience anywhere anymore.

There's plenty to enjoy about shortwave, but listening to religious
crazies ain't part of it.
