Were you in a good spot? I can hear a lot of stuff with my shortwave receiver and I'm in SLC, Utah. Occasionally, I get to hear pirate transmissions and whatnot.

"pirate transmissions" I am surprised. Only a month ago I met a guy who (as an "art project") has actually started to transmit on the shortwave. Bought an old army radio and was now jumping all over the country with the installation and transmitting... well, arty stuff. He claimed he got responses every now and then, now I think he might be right. Is that a thing? I bailed out of the radio waves 30 years ago when I got access to data links...

I'm in central Texas (Austin). No idea if that's a good spot or not.

I pick up a lot on the FM and AM bands. The shortwave bands feel comparatively empty.
