I never got in to shortwave. Would you say that the lure was the sense of adventure and the tactile experience of operating the radio, rather than the content? Today, internet "broadcasting" brings clear content (in most cases) in a mechanical, uninteresting way which I would guess doesn't compare to the old days? -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88037 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
