'Would that include my crank radio?',p.

Timely question. Just about two hours ago my spouse presented me with this really cool crank radio.

Anything solid-state, i.e. transister, integrated circuit, etc.,(probably the crank radio) is toast from the EMP.

Tube-type radios and TV's would work, but require lotsa electricity. .............FRegards

Store your crank radio in an old ammo can, bond the lid to the body of the can with a soldered wire. MAybe if it has a SW band you can hear something after a few days.

I keep an old Army rig around (GRC-109 w/GN 58) but I doubt I'll have anyone to talk with - scintillation effect and all.
