Re: [Swprograms] Guardian article on BBCWS

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Humph.  Shortwave can be "crackling" at time, especially when one is
trying to DX, but listening to a broadcaster targeting a particular
region yields a generally decent signal.

Even though the audibility scores for the BBCWS in North America were
apparently lower than elsewhere in 2000-2001, before the closedown of
most relays targeting NA, the BBCWS was generally easy to hear for a
good 10 hours/day.

Other than the pejorative comment regarding shortwave -- the
Guardian's comment, not the BBC's comment -- the article put the BBCWS
in a generally favorable light.
