Shortwave radio
Does anyone travel and use a shortwave radio while out of range?

OK. you all got me interested in this so I did some looking. Back in the late 70's early 80's my mom bought a boom box. You know the type of radio with two big speakers that you used to take to the beach. It has 6 big D batteries in it and it weighs a ton. I still have it and it's my main radio in my house old kitchen for listening to the local radio station news at noon. It's a Sanyo Model M9965K.
It has 2 places to listen to short wave radio. The one Short wave frequency says megahertz 2.3 -7.0 on it. I put up it's 2 foot antenna today and I found 12 religion channels on that range. I also found 2 Chinese or Japanese channels. I fond the Greenwich Mean clock on 3 channels. I found Radio Havana Cuba on 2 channels. And I found 8 Spanish speaking channels. The only weird thing is that I found one channel that was Dot-Dot-Dash-Dash. Since I don't know Morris code I have no idea what that was.
