whatchoo recommend fer a Small, inexpensive SW radio

Ask your friend to email the Ship's website (if there is one) or if your
friend knows any of the people who work on that Ship,ask them about a
good Shortwave radio.Chances are,at least a few of those people own a
Shortwave radio.
Happy Sailing.

I don't know how it is nowdays,but some people whom were planning an
Ocean Voyage,they would check out some Freighter Ships.Real good food
and decent living quarters and first hand looks at how those Freighter
Ships work and usually cheaper prices too.Of course there is always the
good old Stowaway method too,sort of like Hobos hopping Freight Trains.
www.vivisimo.com Hobo Convention Britt Iowa (a couple of my old
buddies were once thinking about hopping a Freight Train just to see
what it is like,their wives talked them out of it,y'all d..n fools can
get killed doing that) I noticed one of those new Freighter Ships is
named the Peking Senator.Seeeee,I told y'all before Peking is still
Peking to me.And Tokio is still Tokio to me.y'all ever heard of Tokio
Rose before? Ala World War Two. www.vivisimo.com Tokio Rose World
War Two
(I don't know what's up with devilfinder.com,maybe they are
updating/rehashing their website or something)

Know a guy who, being ninteen at the time, said he walked into a freigh
yard in Okland ( AT NIGHT )
told a guy he was a College student heading back to NY.. & they said
" be careful."..& pointed to a train..
Got a ride all the way to Bonneville salt flats , where a railroad
guard kicked him off

Hobo Convention.. Ride to.. - Should be doeable if your in shape..
Travel in pairs & such.. Even Legit... get credentials, hook up with a
Newspaper & do a story on it.. or a $50 to a railroad worker Might work
too
:-)

In Mexico, used to be able to ride up front with the Engineer on the
Narrow gague Railway, cooking tortillas on the Boiler at night riding
through the countryside..

I think Freighter travel is the way to do that nowadays..
You can come back unscathed from that one
