VCR sound quality for taping radio broacasts?

The sound quality is more than adequate for shortwave.
I've used a VCR for recording AM radio in the past. It sounds quite
well. In fact, I remember WFAN using videotapes for airchecking their
programs - in addition to the standard reel-to-reel decks - back in the
early 1990s. The video section of the VCR was just taken from the
surveilance cameras.
Many VCRs act
funny if you try to record without video present, so you need to use
the VCR in simulcast mode. It doesn't matter what video you use. THe
VCR needs the video for timing.
Yup. I never hooked up the video on the machine when I recorded that
one time. I got a rolling black screen - but the audio played OK. I'm
sure that it could have been improved with a video signal.
