Another ham radio question
I bought a Grundig Satellite 700 reciever back in the day to take into the boonies and still get reception. The reception in northern MN is nasty because all the iron in the ground messes things up. Now that I am living on my little 5 acres I put up a split dipole fan shortwave antenna. I can now listen to shortwave broadcasts from around the world, although there is not as much as there used to be.
It recieves 150 to 353 kHz and 528 to 30000 kHz. It has sidband recption. It seems to me the ham bands are sandwiched in between the shortwave bands. Will this radio recieve ham as well as shortwave? I know my antenna is optimised for shortwave but will I be able to recieve ham using it? Are there frequencies that I am likely to find hams using? This technephobe can enter frequencies digitally into the tuner so specific frequencies or range of frequencies would be appreciated. Thanks
