What is with these naysayers on a shortwave newsgroup who are
anti-shortwave?
I'm scratching my head to try to figure out why guys that are so AGAINST
something
bother with lurking around in the shadows of a newsgroup devoted to a
specific topic.

Every time one of these doomsday posts appears the creeps crawl out of the
woodwork and bad rap shortwave radio which, incidentally, is healthy and
thriving.

I hit the send button basically saying what you said above before I
got to your post. I know this group is about the entire spectrum and
antennas plus all the other goodies that go along with this great
hobby.

But the namesake of this forum is ahem "shortwave" - so I agree with
the head scratching also but I think deep down we both know why
specific people always seem to beat that drum. I'll let them figure it
out. Ha!
