just the 23ft wire antenna that came with the CC Skywave SSB and I also ran a counterpoise at 15ft long from the mini-b connector. Also, there is no DX/Local switch on the CC Sywave SSB. It's just one setting....HOT! It has good bandwidth filtering and good AGC resulting no to little side splatter.What type of antenna setup did you use for that?
Treaties. There are three broadcast regions, and notably 40m (amateur radio) and 41m (broadcast) are defined differently in each. Ditto for 75 and 80. See the https://www.itu.int/net/ITU-R/information/docs/emergency-regions.jpg map. You can download a PDF of Radio Regulations Radio Regulations webpage. HTH.(I don't know why international broadcasters still use 40 meters below 7.300 Mhz).

At times I can even hear RNZI on my R6 scanner with just the rubber duck antenna, although weaker, of course. The scanner covers all the HF bands, but isn't really intended for shortwave listening.
The thing about AM on the scanner is that it tends to have too much circuit hiss for comfortable listenng to weak AM stations, since the squelch needs to be kept open due to fading.Wow! Impressive. I would not have bet that was possible, but this am I heard the time signal -- 3330 -- on my CCrane Skywave SSB with the whip antenna totally collapsed, and I wouldn't have bet on that either.
