Does anyone travel and use a shortwave radio while out of range?

Sounds like your interest is more in being a SWL (shortwave listener).
There are many small compact transceivers out there today that are excellent for the SWL. Many at very good prices in the used market. Yes I said transceivers (able to transmit and receive) I think the transceivers have better receivers in them than most shortwave only receivers. Just make sure you get a general coverage transceiver as it will cover more frequency range than a ham bands only. You can own and listen, just don't talk on it unless you have a license. Check this site: SWL INFO out, I think it will help you.
