Re: [Swprograms] Bush House: BBC World Service moves home

This is true.  I was just struck by the fact that the BBCWS has been
claiming for years that they didn't need shortwave because the internet
was (almost) everywhere.  And yet, in the suburbs of Philadelphia on a
July morning in 2012, the BBC feed I was listening to sputtered several
times.

Perhaps...unless there had been a solar flare...or you were stuck
somewhere that shortwave couldn't be heard (i.e. inside a reinforced
concrete building).

Failures of Internet streaming and shortwave can somewhat be
circumvented but not always.
