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?

The only thing left in short wave are the the old nostalgic listeners stuck
in the past remembering the old days after that is all long gone, they are
the same guys buying these radios from China been so cheap nowadays. In a
few years after they are gone short wave will be nothing more than an
anachronistic curiosity for historians and sentimentalists.

I think shortwave will become more like scanning or longwave, in that
it will be more about trying to listen to radio signals from other
countries, rather than trying to listen to content not aimed at North
America but already available on the Internet.

Some Scientists around the World are listening for signals from Space, ooofos and stuff.
