I once read somewhere many years ago that in case of an EMP,tube type
radios will just sit there and stutter along for a short while and then
work again as though nothing ever happened.I hope we never have to find
out though.I think there is at least one outfit in Russia that still
builds tube type radios.Maybe they know something we dont know.It
shouldn't be hard to build your own tube type radio.
But what about those solid state transistorized radio stations?

hobbyists build audio tube amps all the time.

didn't the Soviets have tubes in their fighters? the US switched to solid
state (EMP shielded?).

get some core memory like the Shuttle used to use.

Get a cat's whisker radio -- no tubes, no transisters...
