Interesting article. Definitely explains why there are a lot less
signals now than in the 70s

You obviously have the internet. Why wouldn't you get international
news via it, rather than fuzzy old HFBC, which went out with the Berlin
Wall.

For old times sake?

Because it's there?

I buy newspapers, I watch television, I get online and I also listen to
shortwave. The good thing about radio is that it can just "happen" in
the background while you are doing something else. Newspapers, TV, and
to some extent, the internet, are less amenable to that.

Radio has a certain charm about it that the internet does not. Maybe it
is simply the fact that the internet makes it all too easy.

Anyway, one really big plus is that the radio doesn't chew up my
internet bandwidth!
