Default End of the road for shortwave?

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.


Dave - not trying to sound like a jerk, but why do you always put down
shortwave on a shortwave newsgroup of all places? Inquiring minds want
to know. :-)

Shortwave is a synonym for HF, which is a band of frequencies from 3 MHz
to 30 MHz. HFBC is a small slice of the shortwave pie. I find it
laughable that people think that in this day and age there's a challenge
to receiving a 50 KW radio station.
