Otherwise, we go back to short-wave radio communication.

Well, I'm an amateur radio operator so I still listen to shortwave. I hear Alex Jones on 4840 kc from WWCR at or around 11 PM EST. I remember the last time patriot radio was big under Clinton, the internet was just beginning, there were lots of stuff on shortwave to listen to about the fears of a big government. Tom Valentine and Chuck Harder were the biggies then. I mainly use an old Sanyo RP-8700 I got in 1978, my grandfather's 1953 Philco (gets the low shortwave bands) and my Grundig G6 Aviator Buzz Aldrin edition. The last is about the size of a pack of cigarettes, gets full longwave to shortwave coverage and has the VHF air-bad as well. It really last long on 2 AA batteries and even has single sideband to listen to hams, overseas flights, ships, military, etc.

I remember listening in the early ‘90’s to shortwave also. For several years I chose not to have a television, so radio was my main source for news, talk shows, etc.

There were lots of patriot programs buzzing then. Some probably still around. Unfortunately, I’m now just a few miles outside a large city and can never get anything clear on my shortwave. Ended up selling it.

Have you heard of other people having that problem near a major city?
