I was a SWL (Shortwave Listener) before I took the Novice Amateur Radio
Test.
SWL's have to look at the Dial on the Radio to see where to remember
to turn it to the next time they want to listen to a Station they
previously found when listening to their radio.
As a Ham My radio also has a Meter that I can watch the needle wiggle
as I listen.
