Re: [IRCA] [HCDX] ABC To End Shortwave Transmissions!



I know this may cause a cataclysm for some, but I think DXers have zero utility to international broadcasters these days. If we want to have a small chance of keeping these services, we should stop contacting broadcasters as DXers, and call ourselves listeners only.

Telling broadcasters about SINFO, receiver, antennas, instead of what they liked or disliked in the programming is a waste of their time.

Asking them for programs on a variety of life enhancing topics will go a lot farther than asking for a QSL card.

In Australia's case, like New Zealand's, their service has an altruistic
nature too. I don't think expats are the target, but the pacific island
nations.

If they want to keep their 'influence' in the area, they have to pay for
it. Soft power does not come cheap.
