I'm wondering where all of Howard's money went! It was commented on this
morning that he went into Iowa with $40 million, spent something like $5
million there, and then spent around $10 million in New Hampshire, now he
seems to be down to $5 million. ??

This is because you don't understand the animal that is SW. With simple
and inexpensive radios people can hear whatever any nation anywhere in
the world cares to broadcast without that content being colored,
distorted or changed in any way.

Any other mode of communication has to pass through an intervening
transport medium be it Internet, satellite or local broadcasting. The
Internet can be blocked and the satellites turned off.

The US news media has a poor record on world event coverage, as does the
BBC these days. Be it broadcast or the newspapers there used to be a
difference between the news reporting and the editorials but these days
news organizations don¹t think the distinction important.

My understanding of world events changed to a remarkable extent when I
heard for the first time directly what other nations had to say instead
of through the US news organizations.

Why use a SW radio? What uses are they for the average person?

In a world of six billion people, XM just signed up its one millionth
subscriber. If people get rid of their SW radios, then their old
radios will be available for me at yard sales and on trash piles.

Kind great.

Wouldn't the BBC's -much- wider relatively recent distribution through
numerous FM/public radio outlets account for the increase in
listenership here? It seems to make sense that, if you make something
regularly available to a significant enough number of people, a
certain percentage are going to find it their liking, esp. on public
radio.

Are you saying that the whole world loves us? I don't hear it when I turn on
the radio.

That is a non sequitur. What is the relevance of that statement to my
post?

You replied:

My God, are you a typical citizen of your country? I certainly hope
not, for the world's sake.

And I said:

Unless I'm missing part of the thread in my reader? It does make sense.
So I ask you again. Do you think the people of the UK and the world in a
whole hold us in a favorable light?
I thank you for your reply.
