Ah, you have one of the 'guess what frequency you're on' radios like in the old days. Tune in WWV on 5.0 MHz and see where the dial says you are. If it says you are right on 5.0 then it is pretty accurate.
Your SW4 covers the 40M ham band from 7.0 to 7.3 MHz but does not have SSB so most ham conversations won't be heard clearly. Some hams use AM though, and you could hear those. I was listening to some AM conversations on 40M this afternoon on 7.160. 40M is mostly a night time band but today it had a fair amount of activity.
If you remember John from the old outside asylum (now John EH on the green door forum), he has a blog where he sometimes talks about shortwave radio. He has 29 blog entries on the subject - see link below.
Follow Ups:
I am listening to some pirate radio station, in between going up and down it sounds like sea waves from the ocean. LOL! I'm on the northeast ...
Have a nice Winter, this is great. My tuner is not accurate at all but it gets the job done.
One last thing for you to try tonight. If you want to use a better radio / antenna, you can use somebody else's online!
