Re: SWL, another dying hobby?
said by mocycler  :I'm one of those "in-betweeners" when it comes to technology: Old enough to have been around for vinyl records and slide projectors, young enough to embrace iPods and Power Point. Hey! I'm an ol'timer and I have an iPOD and MS Office, even a satellite radio. 
As a kid I used to listen to the far away places. In the army, I lock myself in the radio hut and listen to VOA. Around here, I've seen the "progress" increase the QRM to where it's impossible on some bands.
Radio Luxembourg was always a favorite. I actually got to sit in the studio during a broadcast before they shut down. I'm pretty sure the two events were not related.
