Hi Peter

Our society has become so dumbed down by terrible public schools and mass
migration of 5th grade educated aliens. So, they don't have the capacity nor
the comprehension to be even remotely interested in SW.

It is so easy to place the blame on the schools. Much of the blame also
goes to the parents who don't/won't instill the need for education.
People need to take responsibility and not look for the easy scapegoat.
Parents have a responsibility to their children. The school system is
not a means to escape that responsibility.


I know you don't have to be the most intelligent to operate a receiver, but
to know about it and be interested in it you must have some decent education
and culture.

Does that mean some elite requirements to be a shortwave listener. I
would t hink that all that is needed is a radio, the knowlege of what
might be out ther (to listen to) and the desire to listen.

SW radio can be a vehicle to provide some education, however education
need not be a requirement.


We live in a hip hop, lip syncing, shallow society now. Culture is all but
gone.
