Please understand that you are helping people more than you know.
This information could literally save lives and I, for one, wish I wouldve found this sooner.
Looking forward to getting licensed and getting on the air.
Thanks brother.

Great job, Josh! Excellent brief on Emergency Comm. I hope everyone watching this learns as much as I did! Thank you!

[billgarand]

Good talk Josh. Great distinction between the random chat and communications on purpose!

I survived a category 4 typhoon in the Philippines last December, Commercial radio broadcast staions wrer down for a week or more, no cell phone connectivity for 2-plus weeks, mot running water for 3, and no electricity in my immediate neighborhood for6, A small portable radio that could receve shortwave broadcasts was my sole means of finding out what was happening in the outside world. Before power was restored I managed to find a small inverter generator that I could use to recharge batteries and power my PC using my cellphone as a wifi hotspot to obtain more information. It took around two months for everything to return to (more or less) normal.

Great presentation...as usual. As a 20 year veteran of the cell phone biz, I have to comment on the "cell tower trees" that you see. Yes, they are that way on purpose - BUT - the carriers and tower companies don't do this because they feel like it. In 100% of the "tree sites" that I built - especially in CA, the applicable governmental authority MANDATED that the tower be made to look like a pine, palm, oak or whatever trees were around. This kind of treatment is horrifically expensive - but then governments LOVE to spend other people's money.

The most difficult...and expensive sites were along the PCH. Have I got

26:58 I'd recommend getting a radio (AM/FM, FRS/GMRS, CB, etc., whatever fits your plan best) with NOAA weather alerts built into it or picking up a separate NOAA weather receiver that you can just grab and go when you need it. Very useful in emergency situations (also in everyday life too!) and a highly recommended item for sure.

[somethingcool]

Thanks. Late to the game trying to get coms set up before it's too late. Got a couple HT hopefully get enough to budget a base set up before SHFT.

[GLUGER]

Great Info! I hope the rude audience having their own conversations Got this info that will save they, them, and theirs LIVES! 🤔
