Great video 5/5
Being an Amateur Radio operator this video certainly strikes a cord.
In the bush of North Carolina, using my Free Play crank/solar shortwave with a cheap16 ft wire antenna, I can receive Western Europe, Western Africa, Eastern Asia. Australia, New Zealand, and all of North and South America. It receives the best after sunset.
With my home radio and a 102 ft wire antenna I can pick up the entire world.
