Contrast this with a little dish uplink or an Internet connection and SW loses hands down. Of course, that uplink dish and internet connection require vast infrastructures involving satellites, the industries and technologies involved in putting those satellites into orbit, maintaining them, etc. With SW, you need a rig and a wire. If that's defeat, it never tasted so sweet. Not to mention that he's totally wrong about needing a directional antenna to communicate on shortwave. Patty [followups set to an appropriate newsgroup] Very true. The night before last I worked a station on Turks and Caicos using a QRP rig (5 watts out) and a whip antenna. No problem. Directional antennas are great, but certainly not necessary. |
