Go Troll someplace else. -- Telamon Ventura, California The Future Of Radio Exploring the future of radio and wireless technologies. Edited by Harry Helms May 12, 2006 Shortwave Broadcasting Meets Reality "The era of shortwave radio broadcasting is surely, inexorably drawing to a close. Even that starstruck eleven year old boy inside me-----the one enthralled by shortwave radio almost 43 years ago----can see that." "With the huge decline in tropical stations, DRM splatter in other areas, religious broadcasters appearing in the 60-90 meter bands, relays...it is just not the same for me anymore. However, I have wonderful memories from those years that will never be forgotten." "Voice of the Andes' Airs Final English Broadcast on SW". "About 13 years ago, one of our HighText/LLH employees joined the Peace Corps and was going to be posted to Botswana. My going-away present to her was a Grundig portable shortwave radio with digital tuning. I even pre-programmed it with frequencies for the VOA, BBC, Radio South Africa, etc. In a letter, I asked her how she was enjoying listening to shortwave. Her reply was a sheepish admission that she never listened to shortwave; there was too much fading, interference, and the audio was awful. Instead, she preferred listening to AM and FM, and had good reception of the local VOA and BBC relays as well as South African AM stations, especially in the evenings. I don't think her story is unique, even among the permanent residents of Botswana and other areas that we supposedly need to serve by shortwave." "The decline even from a decade ago is remarkable, and from two decades ago it is shocking (check through an old copy of World Radio Television Handbook if you doubt this). There was a time when the 4700 to 5000 kHz range would be filled with broadcasters from Central and South America in the evening hours, African broadcasters in late afternoons and after midnight, and with Pacific and Indonesian stations around dawn. Now you hear more background noise and utility stations in that range than regional and national broadcasters. And where have those listeners gone? Mostly to recently-opened stations on AM and (especially) FM." Remember folks - "keep thinking positively about your Eaton **** E1s" ! |
