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.

As one of the comments mentioned, I think it has a lot to do with how much you need one to many voice communication.
With today’s world, data communication seems more necessary, and something like meshtastic, while currently quite limited in scope, might be something worth looking into.
Add to that the capability of Meshtastic to do basic encryption and a device entry fee of <$15. Limited scope doesnt matter as much if it’s widespread enough.
