How will you communicate when cell goes down
Anyone thought about how you will communicate when the cell towers are compromised and Internet goes black?
There’s a sheriffs video that got me thinking. |

re-activate my land line?

Here's a coincidence: I just finished watching the movie "Red Dawn," which I've seen a few times but it's been many years, forgotten most of it. When I was young, yeah we were all worried about the Soviets invading. Not a problem anymore, we're being taken over from within. |

With my radio. Y'all don't have a radio for backup?

With ham radio (and I run several linked repeater systems, all with backup power)
We also run a 5.8 gHz mesh system here in the Willamette Valley as well. Don't need internet, just air to breathe and food/water |
