Why would anyone need some kind of working radio
to tune in all those stations (radios themselves) that won't be working?
Sort of a paradox, eh?
...or is it only receivers that will mysteriously stop working?

If enough of me survives any 'great collapse'
to be able to listen to something, I bet my radios will too.

Anyone transmitting at a time such as that would be running very limited
power, likely no more than a couple hundred watts (the max power output of a
common ham mobile rig that can be run from 12V battery power), since it
would be likely that no commercial power would be available.
