Because of the cost of satellites, and the fact that they must be overhead,
they will not take the place of shortwave for a long time. Satellite receivers,
even though they are very small, are costly. But, here in north america you
can try XM or Sirrius. They have lots of channels. Not exactly the variety
of shortwave radio though.

natural environment were in, could it be possible that satellites shortwave
satellites solved this problem? While still being a wireless radio signal?
