Oh, I did look, for 15 bucks interesting. I found this, at
http://www.lesswaiting.com/rv-radio.html :

"Borg Johnson HS912R Radio: This radio enables reception of ten
shortwave bands as well as AM and FM. The FM band is longer than usual,
so you can also receive the Japanese FM band (76-90MHz) if you travel to
Japan, or the audio for part of the television band. It has a built-in
speaker, DC power jack, earphone jack, telescoping antenna, and wrist
strap. It is not quite small enough to be considered a pocket radio, but
the slightly larger size seems to improve its performance as compared to
most pocket-size shortwave radios. It has good sound quality, not the
tinny sound produced by some pocket radios. The slightly larger size
also makes it easier to insert and remove batteries, and the radio
doesn't tip over easily. Unlike most smaller radios, it uses 2 "D" size
batteries, which gives it much longer battery life. AM and FM reception
are both fairly good. Shortwave reception is good for a radio of its
size although certainly not as good as most of the more expensive
shortwave radios. It was possible to receive stations in Holland,
Germany, Cuba, Vietnam, Taiwan and China, although not all at the same
part of the night. Stations in Indiana and Florida came in clearly. The
telescoping antenna turns 360 degrees, not just straight up or left and
right. Reception does not change greatly when the radio is put down or
moved slightly, unlike most of the pocket-size radios. The instructions
were very minimal but the radio is easy to use. Overall, this is one of
the best inexpensive (under $30) shortwave radios, especially when
considering sound quality and battery life."
