I suspect all of them claim to be "International" and the FCC just does not
have the "b...s" to fight with them since the all are religious and or
extreme right wing politicos.

At one time the FCC did not issue licenses for domestic shortwave
broadcasters.  Organizations that wanted to reach the US market were located
in Central and South America.

With my renewed interest in SWL'ing I notice many domestic SW broadcast
stations.  When did the rules change ( I know it has been a while)?
What was the catalyst for the rules change, lack of standard BC spectrum?

From the narrow marketing niche of these stations, I'm guessing that it is
cheaper to build a SW broadcast station, than a standard AM or FM station.
What power levels are they running and what kind of antennas?

Thanks, Jim
