I don't have any real interest in getting into the broadcast end of it all, but one of the things on my list is to buy a portable short wave radio. It might come in handy someday. My grandfather used to work for Stromberg Carlson in Rochester, NY. He was too old for WWII. Instead, he worked on radar equipment during the war. Anyway, he had one of these sitting around: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ca/82/2a/ca822a1b0b678865bfdf27878b18e1a2.jpg One time, when I was a kid back in the early 60s, we were on vacation, visiting him. I remember playing with the shortwave when I heard the news of the Great Alaska Earthquake before most people even knew it had happened. Anyway, I guess it would be fun to have a portable shortwave and a solar power source, just for backup.
