Boy, there is very little on. I'm wondering what you think will become of
SW. Will countries someday start broadcasting more and more? Will the
freqs go to some other high tech device or will it just be religious
broadcasts and the radical guys that keep telling us that the guys in
Washington and Brussels are going to lock us up? I used to hope for a
really nice SW radio someday, but now you have to hunt for an English
broadcast and then it only lasts for a hour or so. With the European
nations backrupt, I doubt they will be spending money on radio in the near
future. What do you say?



If you love the nuts and bolts a utility station is as good as an HFBC.
Personally, I'm more impressed with a QSL for a 5 Watt digital contact
than a hundred for an AM station with thousands of Watts. SWLers are
welcome in the new world of digital hams.

If you like the foreign music and accents, all that stuff is on the www.
It hasn't gone anywhere.
