Some time ago, the topic of short-wave radios for timing purposes came thru this group. I just received the new REI sale catalog, which includes two styles. For $30, they have a shirt-pocket sized radio with analog tuning. For $99, they have a digital tuner with solar and hand-cranked power. Be sure to check the reception quality of any short-wave radio, particularly with analog tuning. From my limited experience, a digital tuner is a big plus. Bob Grant
