I fear in the coming unpleasantness many will want that capability that don't currently have it. There might be others thinking about it though. I have a full station & some portable capability but, to scratch a nostalgia itch from when I was a kid, thought I'd pick up a Tecsun portable SW unit even though there are fewer actual broadcasters of news now. Before the election, the particular one I was looking at was in the $140-150 range and sellers all over. Now, in the $250 range and many places OOS.

SW listening capability going the way of ammo? Hmm.
