WAS. 8-track ta pes were better than sliced bread back in the 60s and 70s. Time marches on. I love listening to international broadcasters. I have a Wi-Fi system setup and it streams to my stereo. The BBC never sounded so good. I can easily record the shows digitally if I like and transfer them to an Ipod or other MP3 player. Look at the progress that's been made in the last 5 years with computer technology. It won't be long and handheld wifi devices will be every where and cars will be equipped with internet radios. You can string out all the longwire you want. More power to you. The only problem is that there won't be anything to listen to. Now that is unusual. With a 30 inch whip antenna I was able to hear lots of stations on shortwave last night. You need to do less writing on the internet and more real listening. Regarding whether "Radio Was a Great Technology" I find the AM and FM dial full of stations. DXing the AM dial for stations 1,000 miles away is still a lot of fun.
