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

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.
