Very cool! Thanks for filling us in. I want to get a good portable SW radio; a survival radio. What would you suggest.

Well there are several ways to go. Do a search on Emergency Radios. There are several models from different manufacturers. Eton is sold by Radio Shack and would do quite well. It kind of depends on how much you want to spend.
Here is some information that may help.

You could always buy us a couple of these. :)
