In the 1980’s, shortwave bands were full of external services providing news and political commentaries for listeners abroad. Nowadays, the number of external services is much smaller than during my teenage years.
I always experience a nostalgic feeling when I hear some foreign service stations on the short waves. Listening to podcasts or online streams just doesn’t feel the same.
Today, I was happy to hear Radio Thailand World Service with a really nice signal here in Finland.
