I have the real pleasure to have haerd and confirmed most of them before closing. Its very sad... very sad. Many stations, close down for several reasons. The most difficult one is economic reasons. The burden to maintain such big stations, those big antenna arrays, engineers, techs and the list is long; its a real burden. Others, close down to move to the internet ( those I wont follow ). But one of the real reasons is that most of them ask the same question... Is anyone out there? . People tend to get a hold on the QSL card or the response to a reception report which are good to have, nice to have. But the real listenner is the one that follows the program, that sends comments to the editor or sends reception report just to let the station know that someone, heard a particular pprogram and made a comment good or bad. The cyber page of PANDORA, stops the music and with the silence, there is a note on your computer that says .. Am I playing music to an empty room? That is one of the real issues. But as a whole, short wave, will always be there for us to enjoy. I surely missed a lot HCJB from Quito and the friendly voice of Allan Graham as well as El Castor Mensajero of radio Canada. Its sad... real sad.
