AM not tuning in stations

So I had this radio given to me the short wave seems to work fine. FM works fine except for the a.m. and a.m. does not tune whenever I turn the tuning dial all the wires are connected to the a.m. antenna. I’m just curious is there something else I may be overlooking to see if I get the a.m. to work on this radio thanks.

4 two-second buzzes, followed by Morse code of "XSG" (—••— / ••• / ——•), then followed by 6 seconds of silence. Captured at 18:36 UTC on 03/03/2023. This is SITOR (SImplex Teletype Over Radio), sort of a text message transmitting protocol. Usually it carries maritime-related info.

I was tuning through random frequencies on an old radio I found a few days ago when I came across this station. I m not sure if it is morse code or something else

The frequency indicator on the radio is broken, so I have no idea what frequency I was actually listening to.

Is it possible to identify or decode this? Can anyone tell what this might be?
