It truly is a shame.

Or not.

Depends on your perspective, I guess. I miss it.

I liked the Blue Pages. The 2.5 star reviews of Chinese radios were
silly; the Drake R8B did not get everything right; and alas, web radio
is a much nicer way to make the world smaller.

If you are interested in reading any of their past comments, which
contain a lot
of good information, you will want to do it quickly.

This is the end of an era.

That freeking bites, it will be strange not to have a new one every
year.:-I

Maybe - it's off to a sputtering start though. The index number gets
up to the 80s, and then sinks back to the 20s and stalls. I want to
see it revved!

Agreed.
And it will be fun to augment our SWLing by watching the GPS-freaks and
satellite-reliant media at the wailing wall because of the unreliability of
the technology that they
never anticipated..

You think some massive solar CME or X class flare
will render those Garmins useless?


It doesn't have to be that dramatic to screw up GPS.
