How many people actually own shortwave-receiving radios though?
It’s funny, I was JUST hankering to take my SW out to browse the airwaves, and then I log on to see this post.
I have a Halicrafters S-119, still runs on tubes. Picks up 2-16MHz.
I already spent some time rummaging around for my antenna, but I can’t find it and don’t have a spool of wire handy, so I’ll need to work on that. Last time I had it set up was a couple years and 2 moves ago.
Just alligator clip it to your gutter, should be fine.
I’ve heard of “pirate radio” since decades ago but never understood what is pirated about it.
are they broadcasting pirated music? broadcasting from ships committing maritime piracy? drinking Captain Morgan?
I think what it means is that they broadcast on restricted wavelengths.
