My grandma did too, my older cousin installed a big antenna outside her window, and she had a portable tuner like this.

We had a Blaupunkt with short wave for our vw beetle as a kid too (early 80s), but I don’t remember it ever working, and regretfully took it apart when I was around 12, and don’t think it ever went back together.
