Can anyone lead me in the direction of Continuity of Government activities under the Reagan administration through which shortwave transmission facilities in the US were somehow subsidized and/or nominated for government takeover during times of crisis?

I ask this, inter alia, because there is no practical way to explain how small religious SW broadcasters in the US can even pay the electricity bills for their transmitters...

interesting topic, this article may provide a partial answer to how operational costs are being met and informs an interested reader to the extent that it provides detailed background on contemporary short wave radio
to explain why it is not obsolete and its advantages. http://swling.com/blog/2014/11/does-shor...-a-future/
