Ham radio is a valuable endeavor, particularly when the SHTF.

Yes. I have a SHTF Shelter in Place mentality, unless something is directly overhead. Plenty of armament, plenty of ammo. The wife is proficient enough to handle most of it. There's only one way in, one way out of the neighborhood. The county sheriff lives directly behind me. I think I have every emergency frequency in three zip codes programmed into my scanner, a FIPS/SAME code-enabled NOAA compliant weather radio, and a stout Uniden Washington 40 channel SSB with a Delta SPM1000W antenna tuner/SWR meter and mast antenna that'll throw out 25 watts LSB/USB. I've been a ham neophyte since I was 13, and given our current state off affairs, I think it wise to follow through this time, get my profciency up to at least a general broacast level (I used to have an FCC commercial license, so the technical end doesn't scare me), and add this multiband unit to my little radio shack cum rod and gun club here.

And perhaps millions of old CB’s are gathering dust in garages across the land.
They’ll be handy when the ‘net gets taken over.
