I have made an impromptu antenna for receiving just by buying a bag of 
those alligator-clipleads at Radio Shack, stringing them in a series to 
get 10 feet or so of antenna, and connecting one end to the antenna of the 
radio.

I wouldn't think you'd have any trouble receiving V02 or M08 
transmissions.  They are plenty loud here in IL. I don't see that that 
radio has a BFO though; Morse signals might be a little more difficult 
(but not impossible) to copy and identify

You can find frequencies and times here:
