Prepper's Guide to Ham Radio - Steve Collins - Bog

Keep Communicating When Disaster Strikes - Are You Prepared? What if cell towers failed during a catastrophic storm? How would you coordinate aid in a widespread blackout? Can ham radio contact globally provide lifesaving information? I witnessed firsthand the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Zelda - communities cut off, families separated, rescue efforts stalled without communications. Yet my neighbor's ham radio relayed situation reports managing relief convoys while assisting search missions. I realized then that amateur radio is quintessential for emergency preparedness. Since earning my operator's license, I've mastered survival communications guiding new ham recruits locally. This book distills lessons from over 30 years of operating emergency nets and directing disaster response so you gain resilient radio capabilities protecting families, whether power grids cyber-attacked regionally or earthquakes isolate towns indefinitely. Inside you'll discover:
- Essential bands and gear enabling reliable short and long-range contact when all else fails
- Quickly setup stations hitting key repeaters providing coordinating links locally
