Try a SW radio distributor such as Universal

sure they have them in stock.

A small hand held wide band radio does not sound like a good bet.

Thanks for the reply Telamon. I just visited the local HRO today and by
golly they got some of the Sony ICF 7600s in. So I've purchased one of
those and an AN-LP1 antenna.

I was almost leaning to a Yaesu FT-857D... all-band, all-mode ham
transceiver with an ATAS-120 self-tuning screwdriver antenna. But that's
about $1000 total and being in an apartment, I don't think I'd really be
able to get out well enough with an indoor antenna to justify spending
that much extra for transmit capability.

Let us know how you make out with the ICF-7600 using the loop antenna.
