When The Big One hits you won't have:
1. The Internet
2. CellPhones
3. Telephones.
4. Access to roads
5. Power
6. Heating
7. Water

But prepared Hams will have 5 thru 7 and HF and emergency power - world wide
and locally
Think about it
And quit bashing Ham Radio - it is here to stay
25 years ago we heard these same rants and today the USA has 672,701
licensed Amateur Radio Operators
In 1970 there were about 270,000 US hams.

Ham radio will be dead soon and they will sell the freqs to the high
