"I would also recommend a portable, in case the sh** hits the fan. In portables, Sony 2010( the best), Radio Shack DX 398( same as Sangean 909), Sony 7600GR"
I'm willing to stack my tube Zenith TransOceanic and it's WaveMagnet antenna against any of the new stuff. Course, it weights about 20 pounds with the 90 volt batteries installed, but hey, it's lasted 50 years or so already. :)
I love the Zeniths. I bought an H-500 (G500 ?) ,circa1945, at an antique shop for $30. I said to myself "What the heck" and plugged it in. It works well, but after finding out that 1 of the tubes is impossible to find or if you can find one it is a fortune, I just let it sit and look pretty.
