The choice for SW over MW: my guess is that SW always gave reception everywhere in Indonesia, even in the most remote place, while MW with limited covearge did not hit al parts of your beautiful, but very large country.
Also the many thunderstorms affected MW reception more then SW, the reason LW is never used in tropical areas.

(Mind you, I have been in the seventies in places like Austria where the MW and FM gave no reception at all during daytime, only SW)
