   Try a Eton Elite for about 150 bucks but a Tecsun 880 or 990 or even one of   
   the 400 dollar ones from Tecsun and get a good portable antenna or maybe as   
   much as 50 to 75 feet of wire. Just make sure not to overload the receiver.   
   Internet blackout by    
   government.......not likely because the economy would totally crash and burn   
   without a way for people to make money and pay taxes. If the Feds didn't have   
   trillions in tax revenues they would shrivel up in a matter of weeks.
