A very nice vintage radio indeed. The trawler band I would assume is a ship to shore band that was popular from that era. Take a look at the back of the radio are there any screws that you might be able to connect an external antenna ?. Maybe its possible to take a picture of the rear of the radio ? I would not go inside the radio if you are not comfortable.
These screws will be the same type of arrangement that was used on pre cable era television sets for an antenna. If so all you would need at first is a length of two strand speaker wire that extends ten to twenty feet. This will pull in more signal and should generate the desired white noise.
You might want to try the LW band. the frequencies are between 153 & 519 khz. There should be white noise there. Another frequency that you might try is around 1500 khz on the MW band which is where Jurgenson experimented. And finally between 14.000 & 15.000 mhz which is between the 21 & 19 meter bands.
Good Luck and Best Regards,
Dan
