[BC] Flying off the shelves at a Radio Shack near you

[Robert Meuser]

I paid $45.  The shortwave section is pretty basic, though. I haven't 
had a chance to see what it can really receive yet.  In my RF proof 
apartment, nothing so far but my Ten Tec doesn't do much better there 
either. I forgot to mention it also has a cell phone charger built in.  
All I can say is I'm ready for the blackout. Got the radio, lot of 
water, a pocket full of cash and 7.5 megawatts of back up generator at 
work. Actually we have been running on generator as have a number of 
businesses to shed load.
