It would be great if people wrote about their thoughts on advertising
on shortwave. How effective is it?

....you mean the assorted quacks, xian goofballs
and clucks selling those GROSSLY OVERPRICED
'numismatic' gold coins, magnetic water bricks and
mattress pads and berkie water filters.....???

Talk about a market that's ONE HUNDRED PERCENT
populated by con-artists and shysters !!

Baaaaa hahahahahhahaha!!

I've only heard the odd survivalist merchandise and shortwave parts
dealer advertising on shows. Are there others?

No.

How can people know the number of listeners they have on shortwave?

By the number of fools who send them "love gifts" and other
forms of tribute. (Profit Stair being the all-time leader for
scamming people who sign their LIFE SAVINGS over to him
when they agree to live on his farm or the kooks from the UK
who send him money to keep him on the air)
