If your question was about the legality of recording SW conversations,
keep the following in mind: It is legal to record whatever you receive.
However, depending on what you recorded, it may not be legal to share
what you heard with anyone else.

Generally, the rule of thumb is that broadcast traffic is perfectly all
right to share. All ham radio traffic is legal to share. However,
conversations on the air regarding ship to shore radio telephony or
radiotelegraphy may not be legal to share. You can mention the nature
of what you heard as long as specifics aren't included, but a recording
may not be shared unless it is requested by a local authority.

For example, many years ago I heard a very troubled sailor making a
confession to a priest on ship to shore radiotelephone. If I had a
recording of said confession, I would not be able to share it.
