I REMEMBER MONITORING A COUPLE POLICE FREQUENCIES ON THE VERY TOP OF THE BROADCAST BAND ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE 1600 KC FREQUENCY. THIS WAS IN THE LATE 50'S AND THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE IN A.M. (AMPLITUDE MODULATION). ADDAITIONALLY, OUR BIG MOTOROLA CONSOLE RADIO HAD SHORTWAVE CAPABILITIES. MANY AM POLICE RADIO STATIONS WERE ON MY SWL LOG. I VIVIDLY RECALL THE THRILL OF HEARING AMATEURS AND BROADCAST STATIONS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH OUR VERY PRIMITIVE "LONG WIRE" ROOF ANTENNA.
