” legitimate civil defense/FEMA use for AM radio”
So we all have to go to our cars to get defense/FEMA information? I haven’t had an AM or FM radio in my house for decades. How many people have an AM radio in their houses these days? If they do, it’s probably sitting in a box in the basement covered with dust.
I have, as all smart people do, a battery powered AM/FM/Weather Band radio. In my house.
With spare batteries.
I keep a small battery operated radio at home for power outages—usually due to winter ice storms, occasionally due to tropical storms, heavy winds.
I probably have to use it maybe once a year—but it comes in handy at those times.
