It is an old refrain, and I don't understand it. If you ask every SWLer why they listen to news via shortwave, how many of them would say, "Because it's not available over the internet"? Few if any, I suspect. People listen to the news via shortwave because they like listening to shortwave and like the news services that shortwave makes available. Period. I'd also like to point out that I returned to shortwave listening after being away from it for many years. Why did I return? Because of shortwave related information that I came across ON THE INTERNET! And indeed, it seems to me that the internet could be the best thing that ever happened to ham radio and SWLing. We, and the organizations that represent us, just have to USE the internet to educate people about our fascinating hobbies. If you put the information out there, people will be drawn to it. That's just the way it is. It seems to me that the internet could be precisely the thing that saves SWLing! Steve |
