My grandfather used to love listening to short wave. I eventually took up an interest and became a ham radio operator on HF. Wish he could’ve seen. He loved listening to far away stations.

My grandma did too, my older cousin installed a big antenna outside her window, and she had a portable tuner like this.

We had a Blaupunkt with short wave for our vw beetle as a kid too (early 80s), but I don’t remember it ever working, and regretfully took it apart when I was around 12, and don’t think it ever went back together.
