RNW message site actually had someone APOLOGIZE for getting mad at
them for trashing SW broadcasts to North America.
Ooooo does baby wantum botoo ??
And I don't
want to hear any of their guff that no enough people listen to SW,
because it JUST AIN'T SO.

Of course its true. Radio listening in general is declining, SW listening
in particular is about dead. Do you think all SW stations cutting
back/dropping programs to North America is a coincidence? No one is
listening in the U.S. anymore. Everyone is listening to crystal clear
internet radio, satellite radio or ipods. No one cares about noisy, static
filled, fading SW broadcasts anymore. That is 100 year old technology, and
its time has passed.

All of the big SW stations have nice, clear internet feeds now. Do what I
do, listen there. For that real, nostalgic feeling, I feed the internet
audio signal into one of my Part 15 AM transmitters, and rebroadcast it to
my tube radios.

Yes, it was cool 40 years ago when I got my first SW radio, and I now have
more radios than you can imagine. The only thing I use them for nowadays
is to receive my own broadcasts from my own transmitters, and listening to
football or baseball games. Other than that, radio sucks big time these
days.
