The only thing left in short wave are the the old nostalgic listeners stuck in the past remembering the old days after that is all long gone, they are the same guys buying these radios from China been so cheap nowadays. In a few years after they are gone short wave will be nothing more than an anachronistic curiosity for historians and sentimentalists.


Hello, and perhaps broadcast SW radio is on the decline but
point-to-point (e.g. Amateur radio), especially long-distance HF, will
always be around IMHO. Comes in real handy when things like hurricanes
temporarily disable your infrastructure (wired/cell phones, internet,
etc). Sincerely, and 73s from N4GGO,
