Hi, Name here is Cory Allen KN6ZU. I am active in to getting communications together with out the use of cell phones or landlines.. This has been critical in the mitigation of loss of life or property in the past and most certainly be the case again..I am not asking you to become licensed ham radio people, but it's as easy as pie with no Morse code requirement. We have linked to the worldwide network (I-net) we can send pictures real time to Satellites in space. We are working closely with the big players in this respect..The hospitals, the clinics, and most emergency departments know how fragile the cell system is and in fact, in some areas, if you are not on the "List" of active emergency people you may never be able to use your phones..This is why I push this.. A CB and a proper antenna could mean the difference in you getting emergency help or not...It's a warm and fussy feeling when you have a network of people that will be a party to your needs..I'm talking about the school buses, as what parent don't instantly want to know how their children are doing? Each area can be served very well with a minimum of cost..Do you have health insurance? Well, then call the cost life insurance..We have all got so used to the phones working, we have thought little in the event of failure. It's also a lot of fun "Channel Checking" with the rest of the gang and get a good rousing "one at a time" talk. If you are wondering how your neighborhood stacks up, get a cheep radio scanner and listen. One last request...Please get a solar panel..One to charge your car battery at least. Unless you really like reading by candle..An inverter for 120 ac from your car battery will run you as little as $40.00 Now don't ya really want the television to work when a disaster strikes? So now why? As ham radio folks we watch the solar activity very closely. It can mean really good "conditions" for long distance comms. It can also wipe out the entire Sat/GPS systems in space and shut the lights out for a very long time. (Months) We have a sat half way out that "should" give us the heads up, but the news may be very bad..No air-traffic could be the reality.. Is it you don't know a black wire from a red? I will be glad to help anyone who asks..Thanks to all for making Radiopeg and myself welcomed...
