I think ye old ham radio would make more sense.
For some people. That seems more esoteric though. Have one? Good idea. The ham radio operators could also act as “servers”.
CB radio is under no restrictions, yet.
As a HAM, I can communicate with the world. As a CB operator, it is mostly line of sight with the occasional atmos’pherical bounce.

Is it that practical to communicate with the people in your immediate area? Are they as portable? Batteries?
Anyone can figure out cb’s and they are quite portable. The ham operators could be practica to relay the longer distances to othe groups if the same gov that shut down the Internet servers and cell towers dididn’t come and confiscate the ham radios.
One could also make a crystal set and attach a hand-crank generator to it.
The air pumps will be controlled by the remaining cellular network, GPS satellites, and evil people who have assumed control of your television.
With a spark-gap transmitter to go with it?
Simple to get around that. Don’t use your govt-issued callsign. And most modern mass-produced HF transceivers can be easily modded to transmit anywhere from 2-30 MHz.
The way things are going this could be considered wise thinking & planing.
May I point out that TCP/IP may be sent via Ham and other radios. Perhaps even over CB.
It would function for text only, encrypted messages. Mail, in essence.
Look into this please.
And please pass along WWW.TRUECRYPT.ORG.
EVERYONE needs to learn to use this and quickly.

Linear Amplifiers
Which still won’t do much if the MUF isn’t up to 27 MHz (unless you are praying for one of the more exotic propagation modes that you occasionally get up there).
definitely something we need to pursue.
ping list anyone?
LOL! Evasive’s been here weeks. He’s directing us to an encryption algorithm. One I am sure “the gummint” can’t crack. Anyone remember the old “newsgroups” in the Klinton era?
They are like Jesus. “If 2 or 3 of you are gathered, I am there.”
Can’t crack what you don’t know exists.
That’s its beauty. And two levels. Plausible deniability.
Could hand off encoded CDs right under Holder’s nose.
:)
Its a nice idea,but if Obama wanted to shut down the Internet or Cellular telephone system what would prevent him from going all out and jamming Radio tranceivers?
I gather you are to young to remember the encryption newsgroups.
Let me say this, I would bet you either work for the NSA or don’t realize they WROTE your encryption program. If you think you are going to “do” something to help and my bet is wrong you are too stupid to work with.
