Default SWL, coming back in, what's out there

Yeah I know, fire up the radio and listen around.

Dug out my venerable Sony 2010 the other day and will be cleaning it up
and getting the batteries back in. Wondering what's out there to hear
on the SW band these days? Anything left of the Global HF Network or
other good mil/ute things to copy (voice only, I fear I suck as a
dittybopper - got my 5 wpm years back to get my Tech + ham lic) ???

What's left of the big broadcasters like BBC, Deutsche Welle, etc.

I'll have a couple antennae at my QTH to pull in weak sigs a Vertical
that can run 15-10m and a long wire trap dipole that is for 160 - 10 m
along with ant. tuner so hearing it ain't the problem, just a matter of
what's to be heard.

Operate on 2, 6 and 10m on the ham bands, but not that often anymore.

Still intrigued by the magic of radio. Computers are fine, but hearing
voices that comes thru the air w/o being connected to MaBell still do
it for me many years into the hobby.
