The key word there is "tend." I hope neither of us ever find out. I
saw on either the history or military channel....probably military
channel, a gentleman (don't know his credentials) explained what would
happen if there was an EMP blast and then explained what damage would
occur depending on the altitude at which the bomb exploded. At one of
the levels he said what many of us have heard at one time or another,
that anything with updated technology would be fried. He did say that
older technology "would more than likely" not be affected. Hope we
never find out.

You can find any number of hysterical alarmists and conspiracy theorists
that would agree with him, and likely have just as ethereal credentials..

FWIW: I live in SoCal (a prime military target zone) and am not worried..
I'm much more worried about those howling rabid chupacabras just outside
the back door, gnawing on my coax g

That was cool that you said that, the Nike Bases. Me and a friend
maybe back in 94-95 "unexpectedly" drove into one around 4am. We taped
running into this property out in Felicity, Ohio (I was in my "fun
car" with 6 antennas on it). Pretty wild night, I saw these
big....like an upside down J.....spaced out and coming out of the
ground and I said "Those are vents for something underground".....make
a long story short - - after doing a search on the internet - - found
out that the property was once a Nike Missile Base. The friend that
was with me later on went back out there and the owner of the property
actually took him wayyyy under ground and showed him around.

I remember my dad telling me back then that hardly anyone he knew
believed that there was underground Nike Missile Bases. They were
thought of as "nuts".....maybe even "kooks".....lol.rolling my eyes
Indeed yearssss later we now know there was missiles stored
underground. Thank god we now have the internet to archive those
stupids kooks. Those silly stupid kooks back then actually thought
there were missiles stored underground all over the United
States...lol. ;-) Gotta love human behavior.

They're hard to miss around here, as they are on mountaintops.

That was a good picture, there was none of that in the one I saw. Just
a lot of vents and a structure that had an elevator that you hand
pulled or released to go down into where the missiles were stored. My
friend estimated anywhere from twenty to thirty feet underground, who
knows. That plot of land is now privately owned the last time I
checked, someone sure has a good bunker for them or family.

This base was easy to miss because it is out in the country, flat
land. The only clue was the old tattered remnants of an old military
style guardshack at the entrance for lack of a better word. If you
didn't know that at one time it was a military base you wouldn't have
had a clue till you (if you noticed them like I did) saw the
underground vents spaced throughout the land. You can type into Google
- - Felicity Nike Missile Base and then zoom over the property and see
it.
