Interesting topic. I went through several weather radios from Radio 
Shack before coming to the conclusion that none of them could get a 
reliable signal on Lake Superior. I ended up with an Icom M1 which 
picks up the weather fine from most places I paddle.

As an aside, does anyone know of a waterproof (or at least 
weatherproof) FM radio that has, and this is the catch, a speaker? I 
I sometimes like to listen to the news while doing an afternoon city 
paddle and have contented myself with a little transistor radio that 
is going to stop working after the first dunking.
