Don’t laugh at my question, but how would HAM radio continue w/ everything else down? I am now really intrigued.

That's what I'm wondering. Not everyone will have a generator. If that's the case, their radio equipment is useless. What about an EMP? The radio equipment is useless too unless it's in a Faraday cage.

A lot of the ham radios run on 12 volts dc like your car I have radios in my truck and have talked to the world driving down the road

If stationary a couple of 12 volt batteries and a tent,coax and a antenna and you are set for a few days

Remember a antenna can be as simple as two wires one tied to center of coax and one to the shield as long as the right length
