Since this info would have come in handy say, in July, I've pulled it together
from rec.radio.shortwave posts & searches on the Internet.

Below are Links to a bunch of tiny cheap radios; good for emergencies..
Good for your office desk or your Bunker or whatever...

All which pick up AM/ FM and some receive Shortwave

Shortwave is useful because when the power fails
- and everything is dark / off / not working.

you can pick up BBC from Antigua ( 5975) among others

Not recommending any except where noted.

Pass around if you think it's useful..
