Should've stayed with Shortwave..

They could have added windmill farms to provide electricity for
broadcasting.

Windmill farms are not going to put HF radios into people's homes.
Shortwave broadcasting is over. (Except for religious nuts and a few
assorted despots).

If this is all you're able to receive, then there *is* something wrong
with your antenna. Why don't you describe your setup?

I can receive hundreds of stations. They sound much better over the
WRN or the internet. I have always listened for content.

That's much different than DXing.

If you can really hear these stations, why does it irritate you so much
to find out that others hear them as well, via their shortwave
receivers? And didn't you earlier say that, because you live out West,
you can't hear very much?

I think you need to get your story straight.

People always try and hold on to 'old technology' - myself included...I
personally think the BBC was wise to pull the plug when it did, instead of
sinking more money into a sinking ship...

Shortwave, Ham Radio, CB, etc. (all of which I still use and enjoy) - are
just buggy whips - soon to be outdated and displaced - except for the few
who cling to them for their own personal satisfaction - not for real
communication.

YMMV
