We had short wave radio as a kid. You could hear radio stations around the world. I wonder who has them still?

2. I have one in my bedroom...

Part of a boombox thing that has many features, I have two bands, used to use it in the mountains, haven't checked those bands in a while. I think I'll see what I can pick up.

3. Cool. So glad they're doing this, and that people are listening!

Let Russia complain all they like. We've been putting up with the fallout from their propaganda for years now. Time to return the favor with some truth.

6. I still have the mini Sony unit I traveled with when working overseas & when internet was...

not what it is today.

It was one of my prized possessions when working in non-English speaking countries as listening to the BBC overnight was a lull to peaceful sleep and a way to stay connected.

Good on the BBC.

7. I have a cheap Red Cross solar/hand crank powered Radio that receives SW.

Works fine. Everyone should have something of the sort in case of emergencies - getting more relevant everyday as the Climate continues to disrupt things.

Can pick one up lots of places on the web.
