Another of the many advantages of the R-390 series is that, being all "hollow-state", it would not be subject to EMP damage like all the "rice-box" wonders of today.As long as it wasn't melted by a fireball, or stressed in some other way, an R-390A should continue to function as long as AC power remained available. In my opinion, broadcast-based shortwave will be around for quite awhile, because in most of the rest of the world, there are literally MILLIONS of radios out there that receive it. Some countries use SW as we use AM, especially places where distances are great,& sparsely populated.
