   Hello, Angus. Yes, a number of commercial shortwave stations have   
   gone off the air in recent years. But with solar activity improving,   
   perhaps you will have fun now with the ones that are left.   
      
   You can probably get more of a discussion going about this in the   
   newsgroup rec.radio.shortwave. In fact, someone was just discussing   
   the Satellit 700 there. This group (rec.radio.amateur.dx) is for   
   amateur radio, and of course the Satellit 750 can't transmit. Of   
   course some hams also do SW DXing of commercial stations, but you'll   
   likely have better luck in the other group.
