I have been predicting to myself that the Japanese would soon try and

They've been buying for years.

Why is this? Are the Japanese expecting an EMP event coming from a north
Korean missile?

What would building a collection of radios have to do with an unlikely
event like an electro-magnetic pulse.

He said the Japanese were buying tube units not solid state and the tube
units withstand EMP better.

And resistance to the effects of electro-magnetic pulse is why the
Japanese have been buying shortwave radios?
