https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/f6ac4c9e-ba1b-4fd0-839e-ffe335e1fb58 A look at how an AM broadcast receiver is used to allow an AM-only shortwave receiver pick up SSB signals (this is how I used to listen when starting out). The demo shows reception of 80 metres. The BFO signal is the second harmonic of an AM receiver's local oscillator around 1.8 MHz (approx 1300 kHz on the dial). 40 metre reception is similar but requires a different dial setting on the AM receiver.
