Yeah... of the country. I'm on the
East coast. Propogation not so swell
out here. But stilll, that doesn't
explain why the signals don't come
in like they used to, while I still get
other programming between 2.5 and
30 mHz. (That's what written on my
RADIO DIAL - don't know if it's correct)

Another thing to consider is that nearly all the strong SW signals in
the US are now domestic broadcasters. The old school SW broadcasters
were usually an ocean away. They're mostly gone now but there are many
high power domestic transmitters which can put out a huge signal.

So, if Radio Sweden or Swiss Radio International were still broadcasting
to the US, they might well be now lost in the noise at your location.
But Brother Stair buys time from high power SW transmitters right here
in the US.
