1) When push comes to shove, shortwave frequently goes where the new
methods can't.

For example, the King of Nepal shut off 'net connections and FM local
relays of the Beeb but it is far harder to shut down shortwave.


Well said. Actually, the reason FM station (103 MHz) only shut off the Nepali
language broadcast (1500-1530 UTC). World service was/is available 24 hours a
day in Kathmandu. So was BBC TV on cable networks. Most common folks are
rediscovering shortwave once again to listen to Nepali language broadcast from
foreign stations. Streaming audio can be heard over Internet for those folks
who have access to net.

But BBC does need to shut down some transmitters. Nothing more annoying than
to tune the shortwave and when you think you found some exotic station, it
turns out to be BEEB.


Then you need to get a clue!
