Yes Radio Shack has a dynamo SW radio that you can play without
batteries.
 Wind it up and go.
(It also has  a light)
 It's $39.00
 Or Ebay 
 I got a Tecsun PL230 for only 75.00
But I hear the best cheap radio better than that is 
The Kaito KA 1101 
 It even has sideband .
 I found out about it just after I bought the Tecsun
http://www.radiolabs.com/products/radio/Kaito/KA1101.php

You can clip a wire from your antenna with alligator clips to a
ground,(I sometimes clip it to a faucet,or a screw that holds the
electrical socket cover f'rinstance)
 Or just a 10 ft wire on the floor works well.
 The big thing about listeing to shortwave is finding out where to
tune at different times of the day.
 WBCQ is good weekends afternoons especially 4 or 5 pm
till like midnight.
  But some programs like Infowars 
is at 9.475 http//:www.infowars.com,or the power hour
http:www.thepowerhour.com which is actually three hours long and the
frequencies change 3 times in the am broacast when they play in like
the morning and 7.580 at night between 9pm and midnight.
(News ad health tips <~the show is run by the Airforce urse that made
Gulf War syndrome a household wod.
 She has a lot of great health tips and products.
  They have this new stuff called Oxymune which is not only beneficial
to your health,but it's supposed to be better than amphetamines for
energy =)
  I haven't ordered it yet.
 (But I'm gonna)
 I have purchased other items from them that you could never find
anywhere else.
 Fuoride is a corrosive(put the words corrosive and fluoride in google
see what you get LOL)
  People are also encouraged to go to the dentist and pay through the
nose to get their teeth bleached.
 Thanks to nurse Riley I bought some medical grade charcoal (which has
MANY uses) and it removes plaque and stains better than bleach.
 You can also extract mosquito spider etc venom from a bite with a
charcoal poultice.
 Stuff you would never hear about on CFR/NPR
 Didja know Clearchannel is helping NPR 
with funding via corporate sponsorship?
 Like that Wal Mart darling boy Tavis McSmiley?
 Yes NPR really bites nowadays.
  Ken Nordine,and LeShow are about all thats still good there.
 But you can get Harry Shearers LeShow  
 Sunday at 6 pm 7.415 (then right when LeShow is over the Simpsons
come on TV<~the _only_ show I can stand on the lie box)instead of
waiting till 10pm for NPR


Infowars is on(only the first 2 hrs) is at 9.745 in the afternoon
11:00 am to 2pm and replayed with an extra hour  between 9 and
midnight on 3.210.

So it takes some effort to find your programming.
 Theres Danis radio,Australian radio,Radio Netherlands ,lotsa BBC,CBC
(But Canadian radio is boring ~>ya hey dere)
 Another interesting show is Derry Brownfield
http://www.derrybrownfield.com
But it's only on from 10 to 11 am weekdays on both 9.320 and 12.160

 You could get the emergecy radio where you have to tune in on the
dial,but it's a hassle.
 It's hard to get exacly on the frequency your looking for on an
analog dial.
 (I also have a couple of cheapie radios for the bike that don't cover
the whole
SW 1 and SW 2 bands)
You're probably better off with a Kaito KA1101 because once you find a
station you can set it  to the memory and can just scan to known
frequencies instead of turning the dial which is a lot because there
are like 28 different meter bands.
 And...the programs aren't all bunched up 
on one station playng like minded shows 
all day.
 You gotta move around.
 It's harder to listen to shortwave in the beginning,but a lot of that
is due to the way shortwave propagates a signal.
 (Why the frequencies change for summer for example)
 But it's worth it to get away from CFR/NPR and Clearchannel flatliner
programming.
The frequencies often change for the summer,and sometimes solar
flares,and other weather conditions may affect reception so you have
to be perserverant.
 If you have a sunroof in your car you can just use a velcro elastic
strap to strap the radio to the sunroof handle,and as long as the
antenna gets outside of the car you can also have shortwave in the
car.
 
 I haven't felt this good since I killed my television!
