SW broadcasting is funded so that listeners can hear programs, not for the

I would venture to suggest that more than 90% of listeners to
shortwave broadcasting are "amateur DXers". Normal people do not even
know what shortwave is, far less listen to it.

That is SUCH an US-centric response. Just because Americans don't use it
doesn't mean other parts of the world don't.

Do you think people living in Middle Eastern, South American, Asian or
African countries know what Shortwave is?
