With my recent purchase of a DX-394, I have again taken an interest in
SWL.

Upon seeing stations going to Internet only broadcasting, are we
seeing a trend where SW radios will become obsolete?

Nah, always something of interest out there.

Not if insidious growth of BPL (Broadband over Power Lines) or PLT
(Power Line Telecommunications) continues unchecked.

The ARRL is representing some of us in this matter.- Hide quoted text -

"Court Finds FCC Violated APA in BPL Decision"

"In its decision, the Court agreed with the ARRL that the FCC had
failed to comply with the Administrative Procedure Act (APA)... ARRL
President Joel Harrison, W5ZN, concluded: 'I am very pleased that the
Court saw through the FCC's smoke screen and its withholding of valid
engineering data that may contradict their position that the
interference potential of BPL to Amateur Radio and public safety
communications is minimal.'"

Those criminals at the FCC got caught with their pants down.
