I get the impression that shortwave is a relic of the pre-internet age. But I wonder what’s the least implausible scenario that would make the medium attractive again.

    Least implausible is probably the collapse of civilization, but I could also see a Carrington event do it as well.

    Interestingly the question is more or less equivilent to the same things that would have people need to talk to each other again via voice.

    So I figure a prerequisite is it requires that the internet no longer be available, or that large enough groups of people can’t access it
