Shortwave radio

My mother in law bought a tiny little portable shortwave receiver with a telescoping whip antenna. Being a ham operator, I was really skeptical. It actually picked up several stations really well with just that little antenna. I forget what stations they were but they were from various countries around the globe. I think the BBC was one of them.
I wish I could remember the model of the radio. I researched it for her to help her pick out a good one. I think it was a Sony.
