Go HERE http://ww2australia.gov.au/coastwatcher/ and click on the radio tab (arrowed) to start.

Other than that, you may have to depend on your radio freaks who understand pre-transistor (thermionic valve) technology.
A bottle of rum may help, too.

Connection to the site dropping out?  Can't help there - sympathy.

Or just the sim drifting off freak?  The old sets used to do that. Can't help there either, really

Try more rum.
