Good article on SHTF communications. I am sure our FReeper Radio enthusiast will chime in with their own thoughts.

In this case it wouldn’t pay to use Indian code talkers, like the United States Army came up with.

While illegal to operate without a license, HF shortwave is difficult to DF.

I know this isn’t related to this thread, but....

I wanted some feedback on what I heard on Dave Ramsey’s show today. He said hyperinflation occurs when people’s distrust of the currency happens. And that gold will never be used in the currency’s place and has not been used for exchanging goods since the times of Rome.

I don’t think his definition of hyperinflation is accurate - doesn’t it have to do with the supply of money?

And sorry for not being a better student because I know it’s been discussed on the prepper threads, but wasn’t gold/silver used during Argentina’s collapse? Or the Weimar Republic?

He did say that if a fascism/communist government is instituted, that there is NO place to put your money that will be safe, as they will just steal the money or the property that you own. He did express some pretty conservative principles, blasting the government liberal (he used that word right out) spending. So I think he’s on the right page, just wonder where he thinks all this spending will lead us, if he doesn’t consider hyperinflation an option.

"I am sure our FReeper Radio enthusiast will chime in with their own thoughts. "

Being an ex-Navy Radioman, yes I have some comment.

The author of the article is essentially correct in every recommendation.

But I would make it simpler:

1. CB radio with very short transmission times (think 1 minute per hour in 5 different transmissions).

You get, regular range, 25 miles.

There's a new Family Band (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service) which communicates on the first 7 channels with GMRS radios that offers cheap and legal radios.

Think Radio Shack.

Both Family Radio Service and GMRS are relatively short range (2-15 miles) but CB is consistently good at 20-30.

If you don't want to get caught: Keep transmission SHORT and INFREQUENT, or it doesn't matter what band or encoding you use, they will find and kill you.

That is CERTAIN.

Rawles book “Patriots” has some good information in it on covert communications. He’s done his homework.

I appreciate the post, Kart. I was following the links and the first method he mentioned, FWIW, was unavailable at the amazon link provided.

What would be an alternative, if any?
