Default "Ultra" portable MW-SW-FM receiver recommendations?

www.google.com Effects of EMP on tube type radios

I still like the old style tube type radios the best,I always will too.I
dont know how true it is,but many years ago,I read somewhere that in
case of EMP,the tube type radios will sit there and stutter along for a
while and then be working again as though nothing ever happened.Of
course if the lights go out,so will any tube type radios and transistor
radios.Metal garbage cans with tight fitting metal lids make good
"Faraday" cages and you can store a lot of electronic stuff in them too.
