[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 312908, member: 4012"] Anything that helps remote Australians to stay in contact is a good thing, as far as I'm concerned. Particularly when it comes to information about current/pending catastrophic weather events and the like. Digital and AM radio don't have the range, satellite links are subject to the vagaries of weather and the NBN is proving just as hopeless in the bush as it is for many in the cities. No government should be so miserly as to eliminate the proven, reliable service provided by shortwave radio stations, IMHO. How much Australian money has been wasted looking for a missing Malaysian airliner in the wrong place? Our own citizens' health and safety must come first. [/QUOTE]
