Radio blackout on the shortwave frequencies here in North America.
Blame satilite radio services (XM and Sirius) combine that with the
adgenda of the WTO.

You gotta be a masochist to put up with the static and distortion
while program listening. Why put precious tax dollars into klunky
tube transmitters when more elegant delivery methods are available?

Because it's more fun. It gives you a sense of accomplishment.

Darn right! That satellite stuff is for 'tard boys who couldn't figure out how
to put up an antenna or tune a shortwave receiver if their sorry lives depended
upon it.

Long live shortwave and shortwave DX'ing.

So the taxpayers of the world should subsidize our ''hobby''?

'Your' hobby 'tard boy...? Satellite receivers are 'your' hobby. (That and
posting off the wall crap).

Now go hit the sidewalk and tote it.

That was something I was wondering about, do satelite signals ever
transmit on shortwave frequencies. (I should think they use microwave)

I couldn't hear a SINGLE station last night except the usual religious
crud. But, I heard a lot of chirps and signals that were rythmic in nature
(natural noise never fits a pattern does it?)
