I would strongly suggest that everyone obtain their amateur radio license. If you're looking to communicate to the world after the s**t hits the fan, this is your best bet. Have an old tube set available, as they're not sensitive to the nasties of nuclear devices. (EMP). Even if the electrical grid is knocked out, these radios run on 12 volts DC. Connect the radio to a car battery and you're in business.
Great video. I also liked the great example of the TA-1 test set. I'm a retired commo guru; retired in 2004. Amateur radio is your best/reliable source of emergency communications for world wide commo. Please check out arrl.org and go to the practice test sites. There are several study guides available to pass the test. Morse Code is no longer a requirement.
I would welcome further communication at my email address: kc9bjo@yahoo.com. God Bless.
This vid hits home.I was 20 miles south of Washington DC,during the earthquake and my cell and home phone were useless immediately after the earthquake.My wife was able to contact my neibor through the computor.I learned not to count on phones for communication.
Another +1 for using text via cellular... I was 40 miles from the Mineral, VA earthquake and immediately my cellular VOICE service was unavailable. I had a 3G icon until I hit SEND, then the 3G disappeared. But TEXT made it through quickly... Also, with TEXT, get to the point... It would suck to be typing a mini-novel about the disaster and then lose connection right as you are finally about to send that novella...
