It seems like every aspect of
the radio DXing hobby is threatened with extinction.
On LF aviation beacons are steadily
disappearing, the marine beacons are gone, as well as the marine shore stations.
But I guess we still have the international broadcasters, part 15 beacons on
160-190 kc and hams on 136 kc.
On MF it's IBOC as well as many
stations going silent due to non profitability, plus other issues.
On HF international and regional
broadcasters are disappearing, with 120 and 90 meters virtually empty now and 60
meters waning, the threat of BPL and SW clubs closing.
Ham radio is losing spectrum to commercial
interests, technical standards are being dumbed down, plus the threat of BPL.
In the VHF/UHF scanning hobby it's trunked
radio systems.
I've never DXed the TV and FM broadcast
bands so don't know about that.
The future looks pretty grim to
me.
