International SW is not like it was. I still get some far east feeds, and for a couple of mornings even got Viet Nam in English. But its been several years.
Radio RSA was always a kick as was Japan and both Chinas.
Europe was alway active. Germany, France, Italy, the Vatican and many others. I used to keep track.
But today? I think even VOA is gone and Radio Moscow, which was a hoot, is simply MIA.
Now? Reruns of Gene Scott and an endless supply of Religious Broadcasts while all the edgy stuff seems to have disappeared.
We had a power failure here in Southern California a few months back. Basicall from the Mexican Border to Orange county, East to Riverside. WOW, it was electrically quiet and I sat up and listened for several hours. I was almost sorry the lights came back on!
Too much is never enough
