A very small radio can do a lot

A very small radio with a surprising number of tricks. If you're desperate, it can even charge your phone. The manual mentions the ability to display e-books, but I think that would be very distracting on a tiny display. Note that shortwave coverage is not continuous but consists of multiple bands with gaps in coverage of several MHz. It picks up 5 and 10MHz WWV at my house with a whip antenna. No connection for external antenna or ground. If you want to learn more about this little radio, you can download the manual from the manufacturer's website.
