p.p.p.p.p.s. People replying that any kind of shortwave reactivation would never happen can have a look at this example from 2022 in response to the invasion of Ukraine:

"...the BBC announced that it was resuming the broadcasting of the BBC World Service via shortwave radio for four hours per day. It said that this was to ensure that people in parts of Russia and Ukraine can access its news service."
"In a world with near-ubiquitous adoption of mobile phones, the use of early 20th century radio technology might seem unusual. But it makes sense for a number of practical reasons."
