With my recent purchase of a DX-394, I have again taken an interest in SWL. Upon seeing stations going to Internet only broadcasting, are we seeing a trend where SW radios will become obsolete? TMT I doubt SW will ever become totally obsolete. It's enough cheaper to recieve (compared to satelite or Internet transmission) that broadcasts to the developing world are likely to continue for a long time and it's enough cheaper to transmit (for semi-developed countries like Russia which have all the gear, but don't have massive amounts of dirt-cheap Internet bandwidth capacity) that they'll continue broadcasting for quite some time too. It's a shame that the great Western European broadcasters no longer beam a signal at North America, but as long as you stay away from the new and just listen to the music and cultural programming, stuff like Voice of Russia, RCI and Radio Havan is pretty fun.
