after I sent the last post, I remembered another item

Since I have a bunch on memories to spare, I have found several shortwave broadcast stations that I added to the memory bank.

The commercial HF broadcasters have bands adjacent to most of the HF ham bands, so I can tune to a particular station - (ex: 6.090, 9.475 , 11.880, 13.740 MHz ) and see how that freq is doing. They are mostly AM, so I had to add AM mode back to my receiver.
