I somehow missed this thread earlier,
I loved reading the story,
only thing that bugged me is the part where someone is worried about transmitting,
I forget what they did, but
the best thing to do in that situation is to not plug in the microphone at all.
every radio works just fine with the mike not plugged in...
and maybe one more thing,
someone hides the frequency they are using at one point,
if it were my radio I would at least need to know what band is being used so I could get the correct antenna set up...
but being that I only have the 2 minor points that stick in my head,
it is a wonderful story from a great writer
I will be getting his book,
not just to read it again, but to support him for his great work.
if he has a donation account I might just send him money,
there are very few people that I really want to see live through the collapse,
and he is one of them,
but I doubt he needs any help to get through it,
so my logic may be flawed...
