Yeah ... just like FEMA was better than nothing to the City of New Orleans. :-(

If you really want to be radio-prepared for a nuclear strike, maybe it would be
better to have a receiver that does not employ EMP-susceptible components, e.g.
one of the "trench radio" designs. But then ask yourself: would a nuclear
strike kill all the *transmitters* within my receiving range?

Maybe you'd like a geiger counter to go along with your trench radio. There's a
gorgeous one sitting in a pile of my stuff that will go to the landfill next
Monday.

Lovely yellow-painted case. Even has the red, white, and blue Conelrad logo!
