Please share your knowledge of communication devices.
Trying to keep this nonpolitical, given the recent event in Tn where communications building was blow up it made me think, if the grid were attacked and went down how would we communicate?
The internet could be shutdown, I think all land lines these days go through a modem, so they are out and cell phones can be taken down by destroying antenna(s).
So that leads me to CB for local communications, Ham/Short wave (which I know very little about). I'd say it's easier to have a Ham/short wave radio out in the country as space and town ordinances are few, but I live in town so to speak and having a huge tower to support an antenna is not going to happen.
So, solutions, ideas, thoughts, recommendations?
