“It’s hard to believe that the whole island did not have at least one or two AM radio stations that could survive a big storm.”

That went out of style with Clinton’s “Peace Dividend”.

Maybe if the Navy had not been run out of there, they would have had some emergency communications.

Give me a day and I could BUILD an AM station that could broadcast 100 miles. We built AM transmitters in high school. We built Ham radios too.

Nobody on the island had marine band radios? Don’t they have small watercraft?
