Bull****... it's just QRM

For you, maybe. However this could rejuvenate these bands for mainstream use,
instead of them being increasingly relegated to small pockets of niche users,
which will eventually see all major broadcasters dumping SW if left
unchanged.

I rather doubt that the 'mainstream' will ever gravitate back to shortwave.

You might be surprised, if they bring out usable sets with combined DAB/DRM that
can pluck signals from Band-III, FM, SW, LW, MW based on station titles totally
abstracted from frequencies, you might find people listening to SW without them
even being aware of it.

Keep dreaming though.

Anything is better than the current nightmare of a dying medium with little else
to offer but propaganda stations from curious parts of the world, firebrands
reciting scripture and others reciting Pi.
