Greece actually has a lot on its plate right now. There's the never ending debt crisis where Greek national resources and sovereignty are raped by the eu, the eu sponsored invasion wich is also a huge resource theft, and something that gets little airplay outside Greece; the fact Greece and Turkey are almost at war. Turkey flies warplanes and helicopters in Greek airspace on a daily basis, shots have been fired, etc. So keeping some little listened to shortwave transmitters going (much less their power bills paid) is likely way down the list of things to do.
