Spotify is brilliant, would not be without it. B199 a month in Thailand. I have every song I ever loved in a 9-hour playlist

I am happy with the free one and have a library consisting of some favourites but mainly Pink Floyd. ????

I used to carry a shortwave when traveling. All the stations / times just disappeared with internet coming online. It's understandable now in 2022 but really missed it in 1997.

I still use my shortwave radio every day!  Granted that it's my ham radio transceiver, but the receiver part covers all the shortwave broadcast bands, and there are still many interesting stations and world music to listen to.

Really?

 

I used to be a DX'er back in the day.

 

For a nerdy Hispanic boy holed up in his bedroom in the California central valley receiving those exotic QSL postcards from all over the world opened my eyes to the big wide world.

 

I think those scratchy shortwave signals are long gone.

A perfect internet stream is so easy, yet I'd venture not as exciting as tuning in to the BBC WS warbling in and out on 6175kHz

I'm still a DXer!  I guess I'm stuck in a timewarp, but getting the same radio station over the internet is just too easy for this techie! ????

 

Shortwave listening still has an important role to play in some countries.  I remember living in my Yangon (Lamadaw) old  apartment in 2012 and going to sleep listening to the sound of the BBC World Service interval signal as the Burmese guy downstairs listened in on his old radio to the news in English.

planting seeds in me???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

OMG, no. 

 

OK, seems like a nice site, but how many times are they going to seed me?????

I'm sure it does, but a far cry from the glory days.

 

I know the BBC does still maintain a SW presence as does VoA.

 

But most of them are gone, I'm sure HCJB still exists from Quito and probably some newer evangelical stations I've never heard of, and of course the numbers stations.

 

Rather sad in some ways since SW was a rather major part of making me the man I ended up becoming
