No argument from me on this...just stuck trying to find a platform-agnostic (!) term. "Shortwave" is two syllables and easy to pronounce. "International Broadcasting" is eight syllables, and doesn't account for the fact that much of what's good out there is on domestic services like CBC Radio One, BBC Radio 4, ABC Radio National, etc.
"Global Radio"? Good points, Joe. Separately, I've been chatting with some of the Internet radio enthusiasts regarding the viability of an e-group that has these devices as its focus...the discussion wouldn't be limited to the devices, though they'd be a key topic for discussion since there are new models with new features arriving in the market, but would include favorite programming / favorite sources. I have the infrastructure set up for this group...let me know if you all think it's a good idea.
