A number of Philips models in the 1950s and '60s were available with the so-called Fishery band, the 60 - 180 meter wave range, usually instead of the FM band. There was also a variant of this device with FM, the B4X82A.
There is now a lot of single sideband modulation worked, in the 80 meter amateur band for example, but that is not to receive with this kind of old radios.
