I have a unused one am/ fm radio, but have spare batteries for it for emergencies.
Last used in last big east coast low that knocked our power out for 3 days.
- no FTTN
- Mobile towers still had power luckily, so phones could be used, changed off car. If power out to mobile towers , they would quickly turn off and go flat in a few hours.
Then there are also the AM/FM Radios in the two cars in the driveway.
Digital radio is non existent here, at least without trying a big antenna. Yes you can get in on the tv, but you need power.
If a plane takes out 702am Sydney antennas, I still have ABC on FM, as well Newcastle RN on am Then there is those 'other' stations'..
Get out in the bush and those other options also stop working.
You can even pick up AM on a set you made your self from stuff you have lying around. (Done when I was younger)
