Welcome Survivalists & Preppers
We have recently acquired this domain which was formerly used for recipes that scouts, outdoors people, and campers would be interested in. The site will now be used to help educate survivalists and preppers in the use of communications equipment. Specifically we will cover amateur radio (better know as ham radio) regarding the radios themselves, the necessary antenna systems as well as what it takes to get an FCC Amateur Radio License.
Many aspects of communications has been lightly touched upon by other survival and/or prepper web sites but much more needs to be learned about radio communications so that everyone will truly be prepared. A lot of the misconceptions are that amateur radio, ham radio, is the same thing as CB radio. Well they are similar in nature but vastly different when it comes to the ability of the ham radio to go farther faster than a CB radio could ever hope to do. Most of this is due to the various different bands available to ham operators while the CB band of 11 meters is all they have available.
Many survivalists already have either an amateur radio setup or at least a CB radio (which is better than no communications at all). Some folks have inquired about amateur radio and never realized that the equipment is pricey and also that they must have an FCC license to legally operate it. Using ham radios are only the half of it as the ham antennas play a very big part of the success of an amateur radio system. Survivalists out in the wild can readily throw a wire up into a high spot such as a large tree and be up and communicating in less than 15 minutes.
We have found a very good web site which specifically addresses radio communications for the survivalist and prepper.
