"SW4ever" wrote in message ... 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. PBS/NPR "Public" Educational FM Radio Stations should copy the CBC {Canada} and re-broadcast some of the major International Shortwave Radio Broadcasters in their 10PM to 5AM "Over-Night" Time Slot : Note - PBS/NPR has de-facto Programming Control over 2964 "Public" FM Radio Stations http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/totals/bt080630.html =IF= Only 10% ~300 "Public" FM Radio Stations carried the "Today's World News from Your World Over-Night"© Program and all the major {Top 100] US Metro Areas were covered then America would be getting the Message of Shortwave via the FM Radios in their Homes and Cars and at Work during the NightShift. Shortwave as a Media may be indeed Dying -but- The Un-Cut Message of Shortwave can expanded in the USA via the Public FM Radio Stations. BBC = England/UK RNW + DW + RFI + REE = EuroLand CBC + RMI North America Radiobrįs +RHC = South America Carribean CRI + NHK = Asia VOR = Russian Federation AIR = India Channel Africa = Africa KOL + Radio Cairo = Middle East http://www.dxzone.com/catalog/Shortw.../Broadcasters/ CBC Radio One http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBC_Radio_One CBC Radio "Overnight" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBC_Radio_Overnight shortwave radio it's about hearing the un-cut and un-edited message from the source and hearing many sources ~ RHF |
