Just a thought, but maybe more conservatives, libertarians, Constitutionalists should invest in CB's and mobile and/or Ham base stations. I just put a Galaxy DX98VHP in my truck. I have a,
Kenwood Original TM-V71A 144/440 MHz Dual-Band Amateur Mobile Transceiver, 50 Watts, 1000 Memory, EchoLink Sysop-Mode Operation, True Dual Receive, on the way as well. Too ensure that I can still operate if the SHTF I also have a EMP shield (empshield.com) that I will install. The more we do this, the greater coverage we have and the better prepared we can be. If the phones and internet go dead (if), we will still be able to communicate over miles of distance and be prepared for what ever emergency comes. Yes, can be expensive, but it will be fun and worth it.
