I gave up on shortwave listening after moving here some 11 years ago from up north. Reception here was not good (unless you understood Spanish and listened to Central and South America). Perhaps signals (especially from Europe) were beamed more to the north or atmospherics here were not very good. Additionally, some countries dropped SW service and switched to streaming. I now do some international listening in this manner -- using a CC Radio and WiFi. Reception is clear as a bell, but it's just not the same as twirling the dial on a shortwave radio to see what you can pick up.
Your thoughts?
