Oh, I don't know. Because everything else sucks, I guess.

Really, what's on shortwave these days? I am in Boston and I own a
Sony ICF-5900W which I used to listen to the BBC back in the 1980s.
Now I can get the BBC on the Internet or one of the local NPR FM
stations. I have not used it in a long while and would like to dust it
off and do something useful with it.

Domestic shortwave radio offers a wealth of conspiracy theories and end time
prophesies.

HA HA HAAA! You are a funny guy! I have had my surfeit of conspiracy
theories and eschatology.

Various large, AM broadcasters like BBC, Radio Netherlands, Radio
Vilnius, Radio Ukraine International, etc. You could also monitor
marine communcitions, aeronautical communications, amateur radio
operators, coast guard, military, MARS nets, and so on and so on. Take
your pick!

This same statement could have been used about CB radio in 1980. By then,
the 70s CB craze was dead as disco, and sunspots made local CB use
impossible. So most people left the CB world and went elsewhere.

But CB didn't go anywhere. Vacationers and truckers still depend heavily on
CB to find out about ever-changing road conditions, closings, safety
concerns, and speed traps. Even in this age of GPS and cell phones, nothing
serves the same function as good old channel 19.




And yes, we also need to know Smokey shooting radar every People who
drive cross is still there, and truckers and cross-country

That paints a rosy view of the future...
