Looks cool! From what I understand a very decent one too, and hackable!
I don’t have much when it comes to shortwave, just some more regular portable AM/FM I got for a few bucks a while back. I think it’s from the early 80’s.
I also have this cheap, very hackable multi-band transceiver, just not great at shortband with the antenna I currently have. Fun to mess with, just have to be very careful not to transmit 
I have yet to learn a lot about working with these though, but great fun to mess with and try different software on.
Luckily enough, we hardly ever get power outages here, but I’m prepared regardless
