If all you want is to hear WWV (Colorado) or WWVH (Hawaii), almost any SW
receiver should work. But there is so much more to hear out there that would
brighten your day if you could gather the coins s. Sorry to hear about you

Radio Shack made very inexpensive desktop WWV receivers which were part of
their Weatyherradio line. I have opne which picks up WWV fairly well from
New

Originally sold for $39, but on EBAy for 10-15 bucks...probabbly cheaper

you could build it for. Do EBay search for WWV
