It’s two years now since I got the license to legally broadcast on the Amateur Radio bands. It takes skill, and knowledge. You can’t just tuck a ham radio into a bug out bag or emergency kit and expect to use it when you need it. I’m still screwing around with UHF/VHF radios. I also use the HF bands, made a few contacts, no international contacts from the US yet. Antennas are not just simple wires in a tree (but the can be if you know what you are doing.)

If you and your neighbors aren’t faggots, you go and help em out. Like it’s been happening for thousands of years.

Yes but a couple radio or walkie talkie would be sufficient for short range communications. Ham is for long
