Re: [HCDX] end of RS shortwave service



Hi everyone. I have accutally written and complained to RSI for their desition and asked the question why. DRM is an option but I think there is a moment 22. The radio industry doesn't produce any combination receivers for DRM/AM/FM/DAB because there are too few stations transmitting in ex. DRM. And the media networks won't transmitt in DRM because there are to few receivers/listeners. DRM has the future.

I wrote to the owner of the shortwave transmitters and meduimwave transmitter, Teracom, and they have no plans to close down and scrape the transmitters beacuse of RSI is leaving AM-broadcast.

I think there is a reliance on Internet as media. Internet can be a complement to broadscast, never a "subsitute", never replace DX- broadcast. Internet, telephone and cellphone networks aren't avalible everywhere and can not be avalible everywhere.

So I don't understand RSI's desition,

Hey All, Its too bad to hear about radio sweden shutting down its shortwave service. I understand that it costs a LOT to run. But I think that they are making a big mistake in meny ways. Another of the hf stalwrts gone! I heard them here in RS sometimes.(even got a nice email once from them!) Sounds like the shortwave service as a whole is dying with several big names alrady of the air or soon to be. Too bad. 73 and good dx,(whats left, that is) Robbie in wyoming
