SURVIVAL IN A WORLD WITHOUT COMMUNICATIONS WILL PRESENT A GREAT PROBLEM
FOR MANY WHEN THE TIME COMES. THOSE OF US WHO ARE PREPARED WILL BE ABLE
TO HELP ONE ANOTHER THROUGH THESE TRYING TIMES. SOME OF YOU MAY BE HAM
OPERATORS,AND IF YOU ARE, IM PRETTY SURE YOU ARE READY! WHEN THE PHONE
COMPANY NO LONGER CAN PROVIDE COMMUNICATIONS OVER THE LINES THEY PROVIDE
WHAT WILL YOU DO! I SUGGEST AS A SURVIVALIST, YOU CHECK INTO PACKET RADIO
OPERATIONS. YOU NEED A LICENSE AT THE PRESENT, AS A HAM TO DO THIS.
HOWEVER, WHEN AND IF THE BIG COLLAPSE COMES, YOU HAD BETTER KNOW HOW TO
OPERATE A PACKET STATION! PACKET RADIO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW
WHAT IT IS, IS SIMPLY TRANSMITTING DATA OVER THE AIR WAVES, VIA RF
TRANSMISSION. THIS METHOD OF TRANSMISSION CAN RANGE FROM 300 BAUD TO
56.KB. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE,HUH? DO TO THE AGE OF THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
THIS TECHNOLOGY IS VERY ADVANCED. AT 56 KILOBAUD YOU CAN DUMP SOME DATA
VERY QUICKLY! INFORMATION ON THIS SUBJECT CAN BE FOUND AT GATEWAY ELEC.
ON PAGE BVLD, FOR THOSE OF YOU IN ST.LOUIS. THEIR NUMBER IS IN THE PHONE
BOOK. THEY HAVE A LARGE SELECTION OF COMMUNICATIONS BOOKS. IN ADDITION
TO THIS THEY HAVE A VERY LARGE SELECTION OF ELEC. PARTS FOR THE HOBBYIST.
IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE YOU TO REMEMBER ONE THING, WHEN THE WIRES ARE
GONE WILL YOU KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE? PS: I AM IN NO WAY CONNECTED TO 
OR AFILIATED WITH GATEWAY ELEC! I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD PASS ON SOME
FOOD FOR THOUGHT. BEST WISHES...................@SOG SOLDIER	                              
