I would think HAM can be disabled easier than the net.

I think the Internet is a lot more easier to shut down, due to the use of phone lines and hard wired connections needed. Amateur radio only needs electricity to operate and can be moved from site to site if needed. Just about the only way is to “fire” some sort of electro-magnetic pulse device or wave[s] to disable it. Many of us Freepers have laid in spare comm gear to communicate with our family & friends in the event of such an emergency.

No, the only way I know to disable RF propagation is by using artificial ionization. Even that has limits.

I would think HAM can be disabled easier than the net.Too many of them. Plus broad spectrum jammers don't have the juice to jam much more than a small area. Direction Finding you'd have to worry about but the vehicles are easy to spot and the more strategic assets would have more on their plate should it come down to this.
