Tescun Pl-990 Short Wave Radio

Showing the Tecsun Pl-990 Short Wave Radio. I noticed today that when in AM Medium Wave the radio has a lot of static, but placing my finger on the metal speaker grill lowers that static. When in Short Wave or FM, I do not need too touch the grill. I filmed this about one o'clock in the afternoon, so the stations were in and out. I have taken an interest on Short Wave so as to be somewhat prepared when the SHTF. Internet may go down, my phone may go down, but I will still be able to hear stations near and far.
