Leni, you are a pistol with the right rounds:
“My motto is “Do unto liberals as they do unto us, POW!”

Thank you for bringing this up and past related FR contingency efforts.
All - This is a Big deal.
Please, can anyone help brainstorm a way to achieve two essential Emergency communication objectives for our FR community when the Internet is down?

1. Where can we best stay tuned to reliable information news / situation report updates when the Internet is down?
Trunews.com shortwave 9395 kHz radio, and other alt-media independent shortwave stations?

2. How can we safely and discretely share our contact info and communicate with one another when the Internet is down? And when internet Email addresses won’t work, shortwave HF packet radio Winlink email might be the only way?

What I need is a list;

Get a Fribble 1,2,3 at _____________ for 50 bucks,

Get a DooDong at ____________ for 20 bucks,

Connect the Fribble to the DooDong with jumper cables,

Using the poles at the back of the DOODONG, connect to a car battery,Plug in a keyboard to the USB on the back of the Fribble ... type away.

Most of us reading this thread have pretty much no idea what's going on, but we can connect wires and do the manual stuff

With the demise of Radio Shack ... where can we get stuff ?
