Looking for suggestion for travel radio with good AM performance, but cheap

[markwa1ion@aol.com]

Probably more than anybody ever needed to know about small radios is on 
the following site:
"http://www.dxer.ca/files/cat_view/87-ultra-light-radio-files-area/94-ult
ralight-radios"

or just type "ultralight radios" into Google and be prepared for a LOT 
of reading on the subject.

Sony makes some small radios that are quite good and have digital tuning
(and shortwave on some), but are probably over $75 new.  You might be 
able
to get something to your liking on eBay, provided you have enough time
before you go.
