This is what I just sent to World Service (worldservice@bbc.co.uk):

Hello!
Back in Soviet Union I was listening to BBC Russian service on SW with my grandfather since I was 8 or 10 years old. Now I live in California and like to listen BBC in English as well. This morning I was listening World Service on SW 9740 kHz. It was an interesting interview with a lady who escaped from polygamous sect in Texas (BTW, do you send QSL cards? Can you, please, send me one? Here is my address:****).
Unfortunately, I could not hear all the words, because it was probably transmission for East Asia. In order to have a better sound, I must subscribe for Sirius or XM satellite radio service, which I don't want.
I know that many american listeners would appreciate to hear your programs again for free. And there is a way:I am talking about FTA satellite programming. For example, I can listen Radio Nederlands World (in English) from AMC4 satellite; and the transmission beam covers all of the North America and Carribean: http://www.bvn-america.com/equipment_satellite.htm
I would like to ask you a question: will BBC, the pioneer of radio broadcasting of old days, ever consider the opportunity to provide americans with its programming via FTA? We will be glad to hear familiar "This is London" again!

I will send a shorter version to BBC America, won't hurt, and if any of them replies, will post the reply here
