A Survival Thread

[guohua]

Another thing to consider is that if you only want news of the outside world, and don't care to talk two-way, you can always get a portable shortwave radio to  keep up on events with. Shortwave nets go all around the world, and you can get SW receivers that have built in generator cranks, for those special occasions when you can't charge a battery.

And, if you get bored, I think the "Russian woodpecker" is still going that you can listen to until you're mesmerized, and even "numbers stations" may still be in existence, or make a comeback...

Right Mr. Ninurta.
Back in the days of Radio Shack, (the Terrorist Store for all things that go Boom) they had a very good selection of shortwave radios and you could easily build yourself a unit that could pick up Australia.

Art Bell on Cost to Cost use to sell a nice one you cranked up to power.
