Alternatives MY FOOT. Inconvenient half-baked substitues at weird
hours. Is this a political ploy to screw up communication by World
Band Radio ? Eh? I will not now listen to RNW by any means. As far as
I'm concerned, they can get lost. Over and out. On to Amateur Radio
exclusively.

There are probably no more than 50,000 active SWLs in N. America. Do
you know what it costs to run a 250,000 Watt HF transmitter?

How do you know how many people listen to SW? You have no idea.

There are millions of SW radios out there compared to how many Sirius
subscribers? And just how many of those subscribers will listen to them
on Sirius? This was lame a decision.

Ten years ago the BBC estimated their N. American HF audience at right
around a million and dropping.

So they cut convenient times to which to listen to them and then see a
decline in listening numbers. Gee, why would that happen?
