Hi again Josh! I went to your page and noticed you are a HAM radio operator. Not sure how to email you or correct place to pose this question. I am working on my technical and general licenses and hope to take the exams the same day. Beyond local comms my goal is to be able to be in touch with family on the far side of the US from me in a SHTF scenario with repeaters down. Is that possible via SW with general license and right equipment, or am I dreaming? Have looked but haven’t found the answer to this specific question, although haven’t started studying for general license yet. If you have an article on this, please let me know. I promise I’m not gonna bug you again! ATB! John
That is my impression also! Thanks so much for cofirmation. Also forwarding link of your article to my brothers. Kind regards, John
Hi, I read your article (more than once!) and literally the next thing I read was interesting information at: https://Disasterpreparer.com While I follow your logic about EMP likelihood, it seems to me that likelihood, however small has increased since you wrote this article. The principal behind the purported vehicular EMP-protective devices sold at that website is a Ph.D. scientist, literally a rocket scientist, current or former NASA employee. I have watched his YouTube videos and studied his website. I am NOT a rocket scientist or physicist, but I have a working knowledge of physics. His work and presentation are compelling. Putting aside the arguments about “sane” prepping, solely on the basis of the physics presented, what is you/your consultant’s opinion as to the merits of the EMP/CMP mitigation presented by Dr. Arthur Bradley? Thank you in advance for your help, and your thoughtful article. Kind regards!
