The Quiet Survivalist- Radio Communications for Preppers Written by a friend, who also happens to run a top notch site, the article does a great job of laying out the basics for communications concerns for those of a Survivalist bent. Pay particular attention to the linked articles- the one on the utility of SSB CB …

Concerning local networks and infrastructure in the Survivalist communications realm, it's vastly important to recognize the assets provided by Low Power, also known as QRP, and highly directional antennas to both focus our radiation pattern along the azimuth or direction we want it to travel and to make the very most out of our transmitting …
Press TV Iran- Russian, Syrian, Iranian Defense Ministers' Joint Summit The defense ministers are to exchange viewpoints on the latest regional developments and ways to strengthen and extend the fight against terrorism during the trilateral meeting, the IRNA news agency reported.

Cool Patches and Decals, at a great price. I really dig the Resistor, especially as a commo savy dude. Check em out.
Seems like your average, everyday grocery getter, right? Yeah, social engineering is fun, eh? It houses open source SDR software and hardware not too different from "other" SIGINT programs .gov uses. Interesting article and an interesting video from the developer- well worth your time. And while this exercise's goal was to prove a couple points- …
For my Brothers whom were lost along the way, the pain of your loss never truly subsides. I know however we will meet once more, God willing. RLTW
At the local Hamfest, I picked up these two gently used VX-5Rs for S25 each, with chargers. For those that don't know, they're a 5W tri-band HT (6m, 2m, 440) and is also a nice wideband communications receiver. They're also waterproof, fairly rugged, and simple to use. For $25 each, used. Compare that to what …
As with firearms, all too often Survivalists/Militia folks have a hard time separating what they need from what they want, or try to cover way too many bases, resulting in cutting off the nose in spite of the face. Communications are no different. Do you think the guy in the picture is effective with all …
Notice the little stake in the corner of the radio set? That's a grounding stake. It's important. A radio system works by creating an electrical path to transmit its energy. Taking into account simple electrical theory, the radio as a system needs a ground to most efficiently transmit its energy and to reduce static buildup …
Taking a step back in regards to communications from HF back to Line of Sight, it's important to recognize the building of a simple, reliable, local communications infrastructure. The cornerstone of doing this is building a rugged and tall antenna system being simple enough to quickly assemble and disassemble. The best kit I know of …
