Hello all

For a long time I have been interested in Shortwave listening, and I
have noticed on the internet that Digital radio is becoming more
prevalent. Before I go out and invest some money on a quality reciever,
is it safe to assume it is a hobby I can enjoy for years to come, or
will Shortwave be replaced in 5 years by more modern technology?

Thanks for any input,

JM Doiron

Vinyl was supposed to be dead as a musical delivery medium, also! Yet it has
survived that cd onslaught and is faring well into the new millenium! So will
shortwave broadcasting. If Auntie Been was so sure her North American audience
would follow over to the internet, how come she kept so many English broadcasts
obstensibly aimed towards Latin America & Mexico? Wonder how Deutsche Welle's
audience numbers are doing lately.
