Does she know something that we don't?
That statement made me wonder if the article was satire.
WE'RE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!
Will it be satire this coming November when the government and power companies and hospitals and peace officers and other companies participate in an exercise simulating the entire power grid going down? In their explanation they said they would assume no food could be delivered and water would go off. The exercise assumes the grid was brought down by a cyber attack.
I'll also be listening to BBC WorldWide. Not that I expect accuracy from them, I just like the accent and the way they do their stories. ;)

“Us folks on ham radio will be reporting local conditions and events.”
And I’ll have my ham radio receiver on and listening to you.

Have you lost your speech?
Besides, it's a self-selecting group that keeps out the riff-raff that bought ham radios for the end of the world and have NO idea how to use them to communicate effectively.

This seems like the equivalent of worshiping your navel.
Use whatever the most suited resource at hand is for glorifying the Lord.
When you are really warmed up, how many wpm can you key? That is a lost art, mostly.
Personally, I normally listen/send around 15-20WPM. I learned morse code when I was 11 to get my first ham radio license all those years ago.

Yep, it’s a great skill. It’s called code for a reason, these days, almost nobody can understand it even if they hear it. Your own private language, with greater range and clarity than voice.

How many people did Ayers say needed to die back then? 25 million? I wonder how many dead people that would equate to now, after population figures were adjusted?
Read an account of an airplane that crashed about 75 years ago because the fore-aft adjustment latch on the co-pilot’s seat was broken...
Damned near happened with one of our airplanes. Not on autopilot and hand flying. Pilot goes to climb for training purposes, seat latch snaps, pilot goes way back, yanking the yoke with him. Stall ensues, followed by spin at low altitude. Recovery was 10 feet from ground. Experienced pilot, too.
The story I’m think in of had a twin eat a bird on takeoff, lost an engine, pilots stomped on opposite rudder to compensate for the assymetric thrust, copilot’s seat went sliding back with him tightly holding the yoke, up goes the nose, and continued as you described ... except for the part about recovering above the ground.
My recollection is of having read that one in Kelly Johnson’s book.
I missed the above series of posts to me.
1. Preps means a good chance to live - no preps, no chance to live, you die. Rather than location, location, location, think "If you can't protect it, you don't own it." Being able to protect it, is part of the preps.
2. Expect the unexpected and be ready to adjust - quickly.
3. I'm not expecting ham radio operators to diagnose the problem, I just want to know what is happening in their area and that may help me know what is happening or will happen, in my area. All news is important in an emergency.
That's why I have a battery portable TV that will work after a hurricane takes out my power. I'll know what is happening around me and south of me and can see it for myself on Houston channels which stay up with generators after a hurricane. The more information I have, the better I can evaluate my own situation and adjust.
I'm not giving up in an emergency situation.
A massive and “serious” cyber attack on the U.S. homeland is coming, and a natural disaster — the likes of which the nation has never seen — is also likely on its way.
She, of all people, knows God is dang pissed off at the US and might toss a fit like of Biblical proportions. Something hairy like wormwood. She also knows she left the borders unprotected for the import of WMD by Obama’s and our government’s bestest friends the jihadists.
