I was wondering if durring WW2, did people record audio broadcast on

You might want to check with the Smithsonian, in Washington, DC.


Didn't the government discourage use of SW radios during WWII? I seem to
remember reading where there was some mandate to remove SW reception
capabilities from radios during that time?

They shut down amateur radio transmitting at the time, however I do not think
that receiving was curtailed.

This would make sense to me, too. There were few if any radios made for
the consumer during the war - all industry was given over to "war work"
for the "duration". But hundreds of thousands of people already had
consoles and even some portables in their homes with SW capabilities,
and I know of no restriction - and it would have been unenforcable
anyway - that that government made on listening to foreign broadcasts
during that time.
