That would have been the time to put a car radio inside as the home
receiver. IF's were 262.5 kHz(kc in those days):-).Or build a crystal set.

When I was a young kid in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, in about 1946, I
remember the black Ford sedans, with the loop antennas on the roofs,
cruising around the neighborhood listening for the 455 kc IFs of
unlicensed radio receivers.
If you had a license for your address, that was okay. But, if a 455 IF
was heard eminating from an address that was not licensed, there would be
a knock on your door, and a summons would be written.
