Ever since March I've been living in a situation that is not conducive
to SW listening, so my Yaesu and Degen have been wrapped up and in
storage. This situation was intended to be temporary until my new house
was built, but construction has run into delay after delay. But the
house is about half finished now, so I have a question: when I move in,
should I bother to set up my listening post, or is SW a lost cause?

Absolutely!

I just got my 2005 Passport, and it has a sidebar in there asking if SW
radio is "kaput" and concludes that it isn't.

That's simply a rhetorical question, a straw man for the Passport
editors to knock down.

While several European stations have disappeared, and Voice of America
is about to do the same thing, China and Thailand have been expanding
services. Plus traditional SW radio is hard to censor or jam (although
many stations seem to be censoring themselves). What does everybody think?

I think shortwave broadcasting -- and therefore listening -- is going to
be around for some time yet. It will change, as everything does, as
time goes by. Stations come and go, broadcasting audiences change, and
so forth. Get your listening post set up and enjoy!
