Do you listen to a portable radio?

It does work-I use it to listen pilots as aircraft go over and there are still stations on Shortwave despite modern technology.China radio International still very prominent.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales so you fly?
What's shortwave? How long can you pick it up while flying?

@HarryHatting I don't fly but hundreds of planes pass over every day and I can pick up pilots talking to air traffic control.Sadly I can't hear air traffic control.
Shortwave is a radio band on which signals can travel thousands of miles.It was how I listened to international radio before wifi took over.Used to spend a lot of time listening to Radio Australia,Voice of America,American Forces Network and Radio Netherlands amongst others.And number stations.You should google those.

@Insomniac100 I purposely like to do somethings the old fashioned way. I guess you don't listen to AM/FM radio? I have a transistor radio that looks vintage and I'm very fond of it. Listening to AM/FM on it and turning the dial is a unique experience on its own that unites me to the past and allows me to explore a less common path in the present. It's battery-powered and I take it with me outdoors or outside sometimes. Nothing wrong with nostalgic or old-fashioned hobbies.

@Nineateseven Do you have an old-fashioned physical radio that you take a picture of and show us?

not really
