Yes, I do. They were interesting courses taught by bearded professors
who were probably beatniks in an earlier life.



if all quality communications receivers don't have a built in ferrite MW
antenna

There are (actually were) several companies that made quality receivers
capable of AM, FM and shortwave broadcast reception. And there are
some truly trashy receivers capable of shortwave only reception.


AND
the E1 is used almost exclusively as a base station like most communications
receivers

I'm not sure what the definition of base station receiver really is,
but I'm assuming it is one that can be powered by AC and set on a
table. Many of us also listen to SW as well as AM and FM on receivers
that sit on desks.


THEN
it doesn't matter if the E1 has no ferrite MW antenna built in

This doesn't follow. If you want to play logic then drag out your venn
diagrams and start mapping the various kinds of receivers and find the
overlaps. You hopefully will find that not all quality shortwave
receivers are limited to only hf reception. You will also find that
there is a small subset with coverage limited to the HF spectrum.
