great portable radio

re:- SONY ICF-S10MK2 FM/AM 2 band radio (JB HI-FI and other outlets) $20 (no affiliations)
I'm from the old school "wireless" (in its original meaning) generation and enjoy dialling up radio stations before going to sleep (weird or what?). As opposed to dabbing texting twittering and whatever else these young uns do. I've used countless small portable radios in my time and this just about beats them all - it's small, has great sensitivity - good aerial, good speaker and has a headphone socket plus cheap at $20.
I find those beautiful remote areas we sail in invariably have very poor if any internet/phone/radio reception but the last couple of occasions this radio has cut through poor signal spots.I don't often put myself out on a limb and spruik a product but this one's a beauty.
Cheers
