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.
