Same thing is true of short wave. Today you can go on line and get perfect "radio" and even TV from overseas, no problem. But SWL'ing in the old days was more fun: the thrill of the hunt, what can you hear, and finally a weak signal coming in from half a world away rising and fading as if influenced by the ocean waves. The programs heard didn't mean as much as the thrill of the reception: truly the medium was the message, and still is.
