Mom said, she almost saw her dad leaning over that same radio, pulling in SW broadcast, at low volume, during the night.
Tonight after dark, I will try the short waves againg; so far it has been northing but the same Mexican station on several positions. And of course, the transmission line very close to the house does not help, it is noisy. But ....
