Suggest you check out the Degen DE1105;
while it does not have SSB, and does not go below 5800 or above 26000
it is very small, does have double reduction, 1,000 memories; and is
very sensitive;

- and suggest a train window antenna fastened with suction cups
clipped onto the whip.
Have fun !

I recently discovered the joy of shortwave listening with my new
Sangean ATS909.
Now I want to listen to shortwave while commuting on the train. My
ATS909 is too big for that, is there a small and good radio to carry in
a backpack? I can't use a telescopic antenna in a backpack, but is
there a chance of receiving the major broadcasters (e.g. Deutsche Welle
and BBC in Europe), despite the small antenna, metallic train and
electromagnetic disturbances from the train?
If necessary I could run a bit of wire inside the rucksack :-)
