In times of power shortages, FReepers, can you post shortwave radio sites or links here?

We have no idea what kind of disruption might be headed our way.
Is it possible to share shortwave websites here or would that just point disrupters to locations to "take down."
A FReeper recently posted wishing to line up short-wave radio resources ahead of time.
FReepers/radioheads - can you offer advice, links? :)

Do you have any idea how long in time that would take to complete a thread. That poor pigeon making an arduous journey just to convey a message that says only BTTT.

Thanks or this thread I have a shortwave radio that could be useful if I knew how to find the right settings for U.S. info.

Let’s all chip in and buy JimRob a Megawatt transmitter, ship it to Fresno, and set it up as a mega-repeater.
All kidding aside. We need a select number of ham operators, one for each geographic area of the country. And a frequency that lay folk can tune in to at regular times. I think this was done in WW2. One-way transmission of news at top of the hour, certain times a day.

Will wait for knowledgeable people, experts to answer your question. Here's what I searched on the web:
Frequency modulation, FM is used in many areas of amateur or ham radio, particular on the VHF and UHF bands as well as Ten Metres. Frequency modulation provides many advantages when used for amateur radio communications.
Why do they call it ham radio?
Amateur radio operators are also known as radio amateurs or hams. The term "ham" as a pejorative nickname for amateur radio operators was first heard in 1909 by operators in commercial and professional radio communities. The word was subsequently embraced by the operators, and stuck.
And this link looks good for noobs.
