[Boatanchors] Short Wave Broadcasts

[Rob Atkinson]

I second the verdict on one sideband plus carrier.  Every one I have
heard sounded poor and distorted.

Re the curtain antennas--they are wildly expensive to construct and
maintain.  Every privately owned swbc I have ever heard of has run
rhombics on telephone poles if the tx site is in the US.  Elsewhere,
costs may be different.  Here, dipole curtains seem to be affordable
only by VOA.
