This group was at one time dedicated to the SWL hobby. It's focus is now the business-side of commercial radio broadcasting. If you're interested in learning about the business of commercial radio, the HD boondoggle, etc., then there's lots of discussion of those things here. If you're interested in shortwave listening, antennas or any of the technical aspects of the SWL hobby, you'd be better served by some other group. Such as... The group is about (among other things)wireless communications, from DC to daylight. Quite a few people here are BCB DXers. Since the 'Dwardos of the world want to ruin the bands with interference, there is a lively discussion on how corporate America is incapable of doing good radio. |

I don't care about Ibiquity or IBOC, or 'Dwardo. I read John's great posts about MWDX, some of the new guys who are actually dx'ing(the guy from Vegas), and a few others. Like the radio reviews from the people who actually want to talk radios, but then there are the other groups for that: antique radio+phono, boatanchors, etc. That is where the real radio guys hang out. |

That's very nice. I don't consider hunting flamethrowers with $4k Japanese radios much sport. Try resolving call signs on 1240 AM some time. Since SWBC is going away the true hobbyist needs to find new sources of international news and new targets for their receivers. Clue: Amateurs are way more likely to verify than AM broadcasters, and much more challenging to receive. |
