about 55 plus years ago, my father had an old shortwave radio out in the garage. thing was about 4 ft tall and had 5-6 interchangeable "drawers" each drawer was a different set of frequencies. I attached a long-long wire to the back of the radio and strung it around the roof of the garage. I used to sit out there for hours listening to that radio. I was able to receive so many stations and the police were on there too. I have no clue what kind of radio it was or how it worked but wow did I have a great time listening to stations I just knew, no one else was able to listen to. I remember that big thing and look at the radios I have today. Wow we sure have come a long ways
