Hi All,
>From the younger side... at least as of 43. Been DXing since my mid teens.
I thoroughly enjoy MW DXing, but can't really can't think of many around my age
that DX these days. Hard pressed for them to even listen to MW other than for a
ballgame.
Have one friend my age that will now tune into a DX station for the music. Had
been a struggle as she does not like static. So when conditions are good,
she'll tune in.
Then there are the co-workers that are in their mid 20's and would be surprised
if they ever listened to AM. They seem to be focused on the Internet streaming
and digital players, with occasional listening on FM.
As far as the future, who knows for sure. There may be a dip in popularity, but
after a bunch of years perhaps the youths of tomorrow will rediscover DX on the
band. Has happened before- when CD's came out, people said that records were
dead. Here we are today and even with the addition of digital distribution,
albums are gaining a some traction again. They are not dead.
The only thing I wish was dead about MW is IBOC (aka HD). Now that I lit that
fuse, I'm running away........
