Default Poor to no shortwave Reception

Hello everyone,

I have a Grundig YB 400 Shortwave radio. It's now about 4 years old. I am
in New Hampshire in Northeast USA and in a reasonably flat valley. I live
in an Apartment building.

I get almost no stations on short wave.. a few spanish (from lating america
and Cuba) and the usual useless family radio stations of USA. I have an
external attena but I find it does little to no good especially since I
have to keep the intenna in side in my room.

Is my lack of shortwave reception because of location or is something else
going on?

If you live in northeastern US please tell me if you are getting any
shortwave stations and how you are receiving them.

could a shortwave radio get poorer as it ages?

David
