Few noticed that the radio on Gilligan's Island was originally a 
Magnavox Celestial FM-97 but later switched to a Packard Bell 8RT2 8 
Transistor AM Radio.

If you wanted to put a radio in your go bag, i would recommend a Sony 
SRF-M70. You can get them on ebay for dirt, dirty cheap. They are 
rugged, waterproof and have digital tuning that you can store. 
Another great radio which is actually my favorite for AM DXing is the 
Sony SRF-39. I had one when they first came out in the late 80's and 
later bought one on ebay circa 2010? The best signal of any handheld 
radio I've ever experienced. Plus you can actually take it apart and 
tweak the AM signal by scooting the wiring on the ferrite bar. A+ sound 
quality too and if you are going to splurge - there's a prison version 
that is see-thru. COOL! (Of course I have one in my stash)

Not exactly "announcement material" but supposedly grex is dying so who 
cares?
