Many of the luxury 1960's radios have the 2-5MHz frequency range, I have two
Panasonic (R-100 and T-100Y) and these use a ferrite rod on this range.
I can normally hear the VMARS guys, of course the radio can be rotated for best
reception. It is also easy to make a 1 transistor bfo for ssb if needed.
