The question you should be asking is which SW broadcasters really care about
you?

Geoff.

You say that like "shortwave" is something other than an informal name
for a span of frequencies. It's always been "International"
broadcasting. It used to be shortwave, then shortwave and satellite. Now
it's satellite, web stream, and a smattering of HF; but it's still
International broadcasting. Yes, they care enough about me to allow to
listen 24/7 static free.

- It is a huge expense (and waste of electricity)
- to beam via HF. No frugal government in their
- right mind can justify the expense.

Damn the Expense ! The People Have To Hear Me.
