I do still have a shortwave radio but rarely turn it on.Today SW seems to be dominated by China Radio International but I was once an avid listener of Radio Australia,Radio Canada International,Voice of America,Radio Netherlands,The Armed Forces Radio and Television service,Radio Sweden ,to name but a few.
The internet has made things too easy.Shame really.
It is true that the Chinese radio dominates over SW. In earlier decades, I could hear Russians, Croatian, Vaticanese, Austrian, French... radios on SW. There were many Serbian language programs. Also, Turkish and Arabic stations also dominate over SW.
I used to listen to the Deutsche Welle on SW, but it's easier just to use the internet.
I like RFI and Serbian language programs which are rare.
Deutsche Welle were a nightly listen.As was Radio Berlin from East Germany!
I listen to Deutsche Welle also, but on You Tube, I like it (DW that is).

@ SFA: Yes, in some respects it is a pity that communications satellites have become an artificial (if more reliable) ionosphere.
I miss searching for those interval signals as a station prepared to broadcast.

A virtual SW radio receiver, if you don't have a real one.
Maybe they will do virtual transmitters next.
