It would be difficult indeed to find a household that didn't have at
least one radio. If you are talking about shortwave radios a question
with potentially more interesting answers might be: How many shortwave
radios do you own and which ones do you use most frequently.

R8B: Used a lot. My overall favorite.

7030+: Used a lot. Wonderful tuning knob. Great notch, too.

Lowe HF-150: Used a lot. Love it for broadcast listening. Also good on
SSB, with great stability and 8 hz tuning increments

Sony ICF-SW77: Used occasionally. Equal to the 2010, so far as I can
tell--at least in its later incarnations. Not good on FM, but I
consider that a virtue

Sony ICF-7600GR: Used a lot. This is what I keep by the bed. I listen
to talk radio on it at night.

The receiver I hope to have, one of these days, if I'm really, really
lucky: Drake R7A
