The Big Picture

 

The NET Concept

 

Skills and Equipment

The skills and equipment required to utilize Ham Radio after the Pole Shift vary greatly, depending upon the isolation of a survival community and the extent to which a community wishes to offer communications services within their own community, other local communities, and the rest of the surviving world.

Many new and potential Ham's often ask, "Which transceiver should I purchase." It is the author's opinion that the "first transceiver" be a used one. They can be obtained at a fraction of the cost of a new transceiver, yet are able to communicate perfectly adequately. After a while an individual will usually choose to purchase a new modern transceiver that includes the functions and capabilities that individual desires. Virtually all brands are a good buy. Two transceivers are actually needed; a 2 meter FM transceiver, and a HF transceiver.

These will also ultimately serve as a "backup" after the PS.

 

Exotic Propagation Possibilities

In the event of an "ultimate" global cataclysm, any or all of the following conditions could exist:

In the event of such conditions the normal mechanism for long distance communications would be lost.  The purpose of this Lesson Concept is to present two potential long distance communications mechanisms, and a mechanism for locating the sun and moon, tracking them, and calculating a new equinox date.
