Recent surveys
revealed that 97% of regular business travellers listened to international
shortwave.

shortwave radio was!

room when I did my five days R&R in Hong Kong,China in 1964.Over four
years ago,I mentioned something about than in an email of mine to that
married Irish woman wayyyyy over yonder across the big pond in Bognor
Regis,England and the next day she emailed me a good explanation of
Teledifusion.I forget most of what she said about it though.Perhaps
someone in this news group will provide an explaination of/about
Teledifusion?

"Recent surveys revealed that 97% of regular business travellers

As much as I would like to believe a statement like that, it does not
represent what I see as a frequent international business traveller.
I see travellers getting their information about the world from
cable/satellite television, newspapers and via the internet. If the
business of shortwave broadcasting is to enticing then why are so many
broadcasters dropping out and why are so few companies producing the
receivers.

Cleverly worded surveys that ask a question like "Have you heard a
shortwave broadcast in the last 12 months" can be perverted to support
whatever conclusion the survey taker want's to make.

John S,a little over a year ago,I got a phone call from that WHOAR,
betsy myers at nbc.(or whichever Commie outfit that WHOAR! works for) I
picked up my phone,I says,Who is this? BITCH,says,Mr.Ryan,I am betsy
myers,I told that Filthy Bitch Slut ****! to Don't Ever Phone Me Again!

That's a Good Thing, John.

I doubt that 97 percent of regular business travelers listen to
shortwave. However, I do think that shortwave is primed to experience a
resurgence. Let me explain...

When we're all moaning about the discontinuation of various receivers,
we tend to focus on the high-end receivers, which are indeed being
'thinned out'. However, thanks to the Chinese, the world is being
flooded with inexpensive shortwave radios. I believe that this latter
fact will eventually work to the advantage of the high-end market.
People will get cheap shortwave radios, enjoy them and then come down
with a nagging and persistent curiosity about how much more they could
hear with a *better* receiver. So, I expect the large number of sales
of low-end receivers will eventually translate into demand for better
receivers.

I could be wrong, but isn't this the way it usually works? I ended up
with an R8B only after going through a string of less expensive radios
and always developing a yearning for more. I think this is fairly
common.
