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?

Amateur radio was not allowed during the war. SW transceivers were
confiscated from 'suspicious' citizens, particularly those of German and
Japanese ancestry. The government used radio direction finding aircraft
to locate the source of clandestine SW transmissions. I heard a story
from a local veteran about a military plane flying over the area looking
for a transmitter. A few days later they found the person who was a
German sympathizer. I imagine he spent the rest of the war in a prison
camp.
