If the latter, do you hear a lot of birdies and whistles when turning the dial?

Well the shortwave band is kind of odd because I will sometimes pick up a station from somewhere in Western Europe or even in Mexico or Central America, and the tuning eye will respond to those stations and almost completely close the eye in some cases, what's weird is that when I was picking up some shortwave stations on there one night there was a spot on the SW dial right around the 14-16 MHz area that made the tuning eye tube go completely closed but there wasn't any audio there that I could hear, which was kind of weird but yet when I use it in AM mode the tuning eye tube barely responds even to the stongest local signals, which is got me confused as to why the radio would do that...
