That's why I've come to the
conclusion that this group needs a moderator if it is to survive as a
viable source of information on shortwave and other related topics.

How does the off-topic content threaten the survival of this
newsgroup?

Dissuades people from posting or reading the news group.

That may be the effect, but it can be countered. If people so gung
ho about moderating put their effort into posting on-topic posts,
at the very least it would raise the level of on-topic posts.
