Yes. I have a C.Crane skywave and a Tecsun PL330 going. I just got a Bumblebee antenna today and I have a loop antenna on the way. I just picked up an EAM a few minutes ago. As follows:

Bishop, I have looked around at some older analog radios. Finding a used one that I can trust that it would still function properly is my main concern. I probably will end up getting one if I can find one locally but I'm just getting started so I'm going with new digital radios for now. I got another Tecsun today so now I can monitor three frequencies at the same time. My loop antenna is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I'm going to have a friend go up on the roof and mount it to one of the old forty foot towers that my dad used to have a six foot beam antenna on.He had a ham license back in the 70's and 80's but he sold his radios 30 some years ago. He died two years ago and I'm now living in the home I grew up in but I'm glad those two old towers are still here 😀.

That's probably a good idea to go with a digital. I'm wondering if I could go with a digital and build a faraday cage around it. Because of the antenna it will be difficult to build a completely secure one. In the event of an EMP, well you probably know. :)

Sorry I haven't checked in for awhile. Wife has been in and out of the hospital three times in the past two months. I have to give her an IV infusion 3x a day here at home. Just been busy. I'm not sure what type of content I could provide. Any suggestions?

We can work on content when your ready. I start out with Reuters and just look for the hot headlines. I’d say ur wife holds the priority though. I hope she is doing better. I will keep you all in my prayers.
