I have listened to shortwave since I was a kid. But anymore, English speaking programs are disappearing, esp in just the last 2 years. I am not a Ham, just used to enjoy the format and some really off the wall folks doing rants n raves. Still religious stuff but more and more in spanish and chinese. Imagine that. Oh and of course, programs from the paradise known as CUBA.
Just about the only thing I listen to these days is WBCQ. But, if there comes serious censorship on the Internet, shortwave will make a comeback.
