The law does exist and is being enforced loosely. Domestic shortwave
stations are required to have directional antennas and there beam heading
has to be outside the US. It is easily gotten around by using antennas
that
are directional, but not very, and targeting the main lobe to a part of
the
world that would ensure that secondary lobes cover the US.

Kind of like how WBCQ is located in Maine and is ostesibly beaming its
signal to Central America and the South Pacific.
