"Richard" wrote in message ... Ah!, But you are presuming all have access to the Internet, and many staions - like VOA, BBC, etc are aimed at second and third world internet access is poor at best. This will be the great break on the Internet replacing short wave "RJ" wrote in message ... The INTERNET is the future of communication. There are more internet users than there are SWL's No static, no reception probs, no antennas. Log on.... and connect ! AND ( an internet bonus ) You can respond with eMail. Do you think that this hobby news-group would be possible with SW ? All the broadcaster needs is an editor/writer, a computer, and a phone line. And no more multi-kilowatt electric bill. Face the reality folks And where did RJ get this 'no reception problems' crap? For starters, I doubt that any radio service has the backbone facilities to cover even a small percentage of their SW audience over the internet. As well, the internet is not the best connection medium to start with. Heavy net traffic in a given area clogs up audio and video streams. I'm always having trouble with streamed media, even with a broadband (two, in fact) connection. And when that signal drops out, you have nothing until the congestion goes away... at least with good old analog SW, you can hear SOMETHING as the signal fades.. |
