Hallicrafters S20 Radio from 1939 Receiving Russian Woodpecker on 34 MHz

I'm in the process of restoring this radio.Coverage is from mediumwave to 43 MHz in 4 bands.
The audio at the beginning is the "new" Russian woodpecker which appears across 34 MHz.At 0:50 a radar system from Germany on 32,55 MHz with high frequency audio noise and at 1:28 the "Global Wireless" station from Bahrain on 26.118 MHz.
An external tunable mosfet preamp is used together with a 2.5 metre length of wire tied to a curtain rail acting as the aerial.
