I certain have found alot of good broadcast content to enjoy, even
though everyone says the sky is falling. I even have my wife listen
over my should at night when I curl into bed. She'll say, "Take your
headphones off and let me hear." Personally i think more people would
be into shortwave, (especially the younger 35 and under group) if they
just knew about it, and what it offers. I tell my friends I spent
50-50 bucks on a RADIO. And they think I'm crazy. Until I tell them I
can hear Japan and China with it. Then their stunned, like its some
kind of magic box. Even in this day and age of the internet, and cell
phones. I think shortwave just doesn't get enough publicity.

I agree. I'm personally just now getting back into the hobby after a 14+
year absence. Sitting here one morning with a cup of coffee reading the news
on Yahoo, the thought just popped into my head that it would be fun to have
a shortwave radio again.

Right now I'm waiting for the radio to arrive on my doorstep. It's a heavily
modified DX-394 found on eBay - nothing really fantastic, but enough to get
my foot back in the door. :-)

Perhaps you don't know yourself as well as you think.
